The Electron Microscope – from a Sketch in 1931 to Reality
December 26, 2019
A sketch circulated by Pablo Guerra Lahoz on Twitter prompted me to put together this brief chronicle of the invention that has changed our lives in so many ways. What I didn’t realize was that Ernst Ruska started his studies at the Technical University Munich in 1929, where I got my Ph.D. in 1970. He went to the Technical University of Berlin in 1927 where he finished his Ph.D. in 1933. He hypothesized that electrons with their much smaller wavelength could be used to image objects with much higher resolution than light microscopes. The sketch...
