Laser-induced tunnel ionization from a coherent superposition of electronic states inis studied in a kinematically complete experiment. Within a pump-probe scheme a spin-orbit wave packet is launched through the first ionization step from the neutral species. The multielectron coherent wave packet is probed as a function of time by the second pulse which ionizes the system to. By measuring delay-dependent electron momentum distributions we directly image the evolution of the nonstationary multielectron wave function. Comparing the results with simulations we test common assumptions about electron momentum distributions and the tunneling process itself.
