In 1986 Ernst Ruska won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the electron microscope. That was 55 years (!) After he built the instrument in Berlin. Unparalleled images follow this passionate pioneer who made every effort to realize his dream and got Siemens to put his design into production. A second main character is Jan Bart Le Poole from TU Delft. His ingenious adaptations to Ruska's prototype signaled the prelude to the worldwide success of the electron microscopes that Philips introduced from 1949. But the real starring role in Unparalleled Images is for the device itself. Seeing is believing. For the most modern cryo-electron microscope, which won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2017, this is just as true as for the prototype by Ernst Ruska. Unparalleled images oversee historical developments and provide a colorful report from the work floor of science.
