In our experiment, we are employing a tightly focussed scanning electron-beam on ultra-cold atoms to locally remove particles. This allows us to probe atomic density distributions with high temporal and spatial resolution. Furthermore, the electron-beam is a versatile tool to manipulate the atomic ensemble e.g. it yields the possibility for localized dissipative defects and therefore to create open quantum-systems. The obtained signal shows the system's reaction on the defect and allows to measure pair-correlations and Zeno-like behaviour. This method can also be used to engineer non-equilibrium states and investigate their time evolution e.g. tunnel dynamics in an one-dimensional optical lattice. In addition, subsequently obtained density-profiles allow for an in-vivo investigation of all the samples.
