We present an experimental study of the electron wave function in InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. Magneto-tunneling spectroscopy is employed as a non-invasive probe to produce two-dimensional images of the probability density of an electron confined in a quantum dot. The images reveal the elliptical symmetry of the ground state and the characteristic lobes of the higher energy states of the dots.
