We use an atomic force microscope tip as a local gate to study the scattering
between edge channels in a 2D electron gas in the quantum Hall regime. The
scattering is dominated by individual, microscopic scattering centers, which we
directly image here for the first time. The tip voltage dependence of the
scattering indicates that tunneling occurs through weak links and localized
states.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
