We report on Coulomb explosion imaging of the wavefunction of the quantum halo system He2. Each atom of this system is ionized by tunnel ionization in a femto second laser pulse and in a second experiment by single photon ionization employing a free electron laser. We visualize the exponential decay of the probability density of the tunneling particle over distance for over two orders of magnitude up to an internuclear distance of 250 Å. By fitting the slope of the density in the tunneling regime we obtain a binding energy of 151.9 ± 13.3 neV, which is in agreement with most recent calculations [Przybytek et al.,PRL 104, 183003, 2010].
