Reproduction of an early electron microscope constructed by Ernst Ruska in the 1930s. Many developments laid the groundwork of the electron optics used in microscopes. [2] One significant step was the work of Hertz in 1883 [3] who made a cathode-ray tube with electrostatic and magnetic deflection, demonstrating manipulation of the direction of an electron beam.
Electron microscope constructed by Ernst Ruska in 1933. Ernst August Friedrich Ruska (German pronunciation: [ɛʁnst ˈʁʊskaː] ⓘ; 25 December 1906 – 27 May 1988) [1] was a German physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986 for his work in electron optics, including the design of the first electron microscope.
1936: Erwin Wilhelm Müller invents the field emission microscope. 1938: James Hillier builds another TEM. 1951: Erwin Wilhelm Müller invents the field ion microscope and is the first to see atoms. 1953: Frits Zernike, professor of theoretical physics, receives the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the phase-contrast microscope.
IEEE Founders Medal (1981) Scientific career. Institutions. RCA. James Hillier, OC (August 22, 1915 – January 15, 2007) was a Canadian - American scientist and inventor who designed and built, with Albert Prebus, the first successful high-resolution electron microscope in North America in 1938. [1]
Max Knoll (17 July 1897 – 6 November 1969) [1] was a German electrical engineer and co-inventor of the electron microscope.Knoll was born in Wiesbaden and studied at the University of Munich and at the Technischen Hochschulen in Munich and Berlin-Charlottenburg, where he obtained his doctorate in the Institute for High Voltage Technology.
Albert Victor Crewe (February 18, 1927 – November 18, 2009) was a British-born American physicist and inventor of the modern scanning transmission electron microscope [1] capable of taking still and motion pictures of atoms, a technology that provided new insights into atomic interaction and enabled significant advances in and had wide-reaching implications for the biomedical, semiconductor ...
Bodo von Borries (born 22 May 1905 in Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany — died 17 July 1956 in Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia) was a German physicist. [1] He was the co-inventor of the electron microscope. Von Borries studied electrical engineering at the Technische Hochschule in Danzig (today Gdańsk University of Technology), and at ...
