Since the original double slit experiment was done over 100 years ago, it probably wasn't done in a vacuum. I've noticed that the Einstein's lensing effect (or something similar) happens by looking past my finger and it can magnify objects about 12" away. Could this be applied to the medium in which the photons are traveling through to get to the photon detector? Assuming the medium is air and not vacuum, can we derive that the bands generated are in fact created by the photon being refocused by the edges of the oxygen atoms?
