Abstract
Total magnetic flux trapped in a tiny toroidal magnet is measured by an electron holography technique to test predicted flux quantization. The experimental results show that the magnetic flux is quantized neither by units nor by units. This fact provides further evidence for the existence of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
