With its help, previously invisible pathogens such as viruses or bacteriophages became visible. After first successes in medical and biological research, it became a crucial research tool in the materials sciences, in chemistry, and solid state physics. The book focuses on the emergence and genesis of electron microscopy in Germany ? from its beginnings in the early 1930s to the 1960s. Large corporations such as Siemens and AEG vied for supremacy in the development and sale of this innovative technology. In its early development, the success story of the electron microscope was characterized by strategic calculations, propaganda work, and tough patent negotiations, by conflicts among the protagonists over an appropriate place in future memory and by the entanglements with officials and organizations of the National Socialist State. The scientific and technical contributions of the electrical engineer and 1986 Nobel Prize winner in physics, Ernst Ruska, serve as a biographical thread. 410 0$aHistory of Physics,$x2730-7557 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aMaterials$xMicroscopy 606 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aMicroscopy 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aMaterials$xMicroscopy. 615 0$aEurope, Central$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aMicroscopy. 615 24$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 676 $a509 700 $aMu?ller$b Falk$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01818492 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911001466503321 996 $aBeyond Light$94377677 997 $aUNINA
