He did use extension tubes too. It is remarkable to see an image of a single atom captured with a regular camera.
The article doesn't what say what brand of camera was used.
You can read the article and see the photo at this link.

I take it you're from the UK....where the university and the scientist who accomplished this is located.

"A student at the University of Oxford is being celebrated in the world of science photography for capturing a single, floating atom with an ordinary camera.
Using long exposure, PhD candidate David Nadlinger took a photo of a glowing atom in an intricate web of laboratory machinery."

If the electrodes are 2 mm apart, that is one gigantic atom.
Atoms are measured in angstroms.

Do not be too sure of that anymore. You ought to worry about the current brain drain. Your grammar is certainly not exactly world-class either.

Only one atom? He has a way to go. My photos usually depict trillions of atoms.... :-)

Don’t be too accepting of the claim. What was visualized was a regional photo-emittive effect of a stimulated single atom. Surely a remarlable achievement, but NOT, in any way, visualization of the atom itself.
