Abstract: For every atoroidal iwip automorphism $phi$ of $F_N$ (i.e. the analogue of a pseudo-Anosov mapping class) it is shown that the algebraic lamination dual to the forward limit tree $T_{+}(phi)$ is obtained as "diagonal closure" of the support of the backward limit current $m{u}_{-}(phi)$. This diagonal closure is obtained through a finite procedure in analogy to adding diagonal leaves from the complementary components to the stable lamination of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism. We also give several new characterizations as well as a structure theorem for the dual lamination of $T_{+}(phi)$, in terms of Bestvina-Feighn-Handel's "stable lamination" associated to $phi$.
