...are posted for the benefit of those image-searching for animated photons and electrons. They are based on my understanding of ideas from Vernon Brown, Milo Wolff, Richard Feynman, Carver Mead, Gabriel LaFrenière, Geoffrey Haselhurst, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger et al and et c., aka "photon theory" and "the wave structure of matter."
Made with Microsoft Paint and Lunapic, satisfactory standing waves, Hopf toruses and vortexes have eluded me, but some of these results are simple and easy to remember, the key to heuristics.
Warnings and Disclaimers: Nothing here is "right" and almost everything can be described several different ways. Use extreme caution if answering homework questions or designing photon torpedoes. Sometimes two-dimensions looks like a sphere, sometimes maybe a convex inside-out mirrored Mercator sphere, popping right out of your screen. For entertainment purposes only.

Photon & Electron Heuristics - This Page
This effort was mostly inspired by the late Gabriel LaFrenière's site, La Matière est Faite d'Ondes (Matter is Made of Waves), which is still available in web archives. Two of his images are used below. I wondered how those standing waves would look as colliding in spheres. Standing wave java imaging can be found on the web, but all I've seen is two dimensional.
Also, I was trying to create an optical illusion "spiral" effect, which failed miserably but begat a zany avatar circa 1996. However, unintentionally another illusion appeared, that of an electron captured in a web, bobbling around. It seems (to my eye) to have a little dimension to it.
