The electromagnetically induced Talbot effect (EITE) offers a nondestructive and lensless way to image ultracold atoms or molecules (Wen J. M. et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., 98 (2011) 081108). We study an atomic imaging scheme based on the second-order two-photon EITE. Entangled photon pairs are taken as the imaging light to realize coincidence recording. Compared to the previous self-imaging scheme, the present one has the characteristic of imaging nonlocally and of the controllable image variation in size, and thus, it is useful for facilitating the EITE application in imaging techniques.
