Abstract
A Stem-Gerlach experiment constructed in the spirit of the original experiment is reported that demonstrates spatial quantization for a beam of silver atoms directly to the unaided eye. Splitting of the atomic beam is seen both parallel to the magnetic field direction, as in the "usual" experiment, and in a direction mutually perpendicular to the field and atomic trajectory, which is a new transverse Stem-Gerlach effect. Splitting of up to 4 mm, can be recorded visually. Calculations based on the force components acting on the atomic beams reproduce the experimental results within the experimental accuracy of +/-0.3 mm.
