Dr. Árpád Barna, or “Árpi uncle” as he was called by many of us, in his 86th year, on the evening of September 24, 2021, died. We mourn the Candidate of Physical Science, the Doctor of Engineering, and first of all, our role model. Árpi and his colleagues started in-situ transmission electron microscopy in 1966, of which the hardware was… Teljes cikk »
A szuperrezolúciós (szuperfeloldású/felbontású) mikroszkópia megvalósítói, Stefan Hell, Eric Betzig és William E. Moerner számára odaítélt kémiai Nobel-díj 2014-ben, és az ultrakrió-elektronmikroszkópia kidolgozói, Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank és Richard Henderson 2017-es Nobel-díja egyaránt arra utal, a molekuláris biológia és genetika mellett a mikroszkópia is virágkorát éli. Ezt mutatja a már több évtizedes múlttal rendelkező nagy mikroszkópos konferenciák mellett gombamódra szaporodó, mikroszkópos… Teljes cikk »
In an interview published on the website of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Béla Pécz, director of the Technical Physics and Materials Science Research Institute (and previous president of HSM) gives a very elegant and simple description of the reason for the spherical aberration and explains the significance of its correction.The article is also definitely worth a look at because… Teljes cikk »
