The magneitc lines of force of a single flux quantum (fluxon) penetrating a superconducting film (Pb) were observed directly and individually by the electron holography technique using the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The phase contours of the electron wave not only confirm the quantized flux value /ital h//2/ital e/ but also reveal, by phase amplification, internal structure of a single fluxon. With the film thickness /approx lt/0.5 ..mu..m, each fluxon, after penetrating the film, fans out or makes a /ital ssU/ shape returning to another point on the film surface. With thicker films, fluxons form a bundle with a flux amounting to several times /ital h//2/ital e/.
