{\blue{\mathcal{\underline{Heisenberg's\: Uncertainty\: Principle}}}}

Also known as Indeterminacy Principle stated that the {\bf{Position}} and the {\bf{Velocity}} of an electron both cannot be measured exactly at the same time.

Mathematically,

∆x × ∆p↓x ≥ \frac{h}{4π}

or,

∆x × ∆mv↓x ≥ \frac{h}{4π}

∆x × ∆v↓x ≥ \frac{h}{4πm}

As a result whether an electron behaves like a particle or a wave, it depends on the experiment.

The detection of an electron would be made by way of it's interaction with photons of light. As the reflected photons cause a change in the path of electrons.
