Abstract
Local real-space symmetry properties of the decagonal quasicrystal are determined using the secondary-electron imaging technique. A basic symmetry unit consisting of atoms on the vertices of tubelike stacked alternating pentagons and center-decorated decagons accounts for the observations.
