Back light it with a black (or very dark) background. Catch the glint off the fine stuff at the edges. Oops, I'm told there are no edges. Catch the glint off the fine stuff at the uncertainty blur surrounding the duckling. This will probably work, as the solution to the duckling's wave function is most certainly near 1.0. In the unlikely event that the duckling is somewhere else at the instant of exposure (or doesn't exist because it isn't being observed), try again while watching the duckling closely.
