What image intensifiers revealAt low dose rates it becomes apparent that radiation is not built from waves, but from separate quanta that move in un-sharp corridors (clouds), which may be shaped as waves or wave packages.

Warning, this is NOT a video of an external object. It is constructed by coupling two night vision goggles. There is no input image. What is shown is the cold emission of the photocathode of the first goggle at different temperatures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_noise Very low dose photos.
At low dose rates, I never saw any sign of a wave. At the utmost, I saw detection patterns that looked like interference patterns.
Why is that so? Remember that for (elementary) particles the squared modulus of the wavefunction is a probability density distribution that indicates the probability of finding the particle at the location defined by the parameter of the wave function! This distribution has a Fourier transform, which makes it a wave package! This establishes the wave behavior of the particle. The wave package is recurrently regenerated when the hop location swarm is regenerated.
Photons also have detection location density distributions that represent detection probability density distributions and have Fourier transforms. Thus, the detection probability density distribution is a wave package. However, these waves differ from the structure of a photon! The detection probability density distribution establishes the particle behavior of a set of photons!!
The Hilbert Book Model states that photons are formed by strings of shape keeping fronts that each carries a fixed amount of energy. In free space, the string moves with light speed and the shape keeping fronts also keep their amplitude. At a given instant of progression, the passage of the complete string takes a fixed number of progression steps.
