Ernst Ruska – The Inventor of Electron Microscope
Although electron microscope was patented by Reinhold Rudenberg in 1931, the invention of the microscope which uses the electron beam rather than light to produce an image is traditionally credited to the German physicist Ernst Ruska. Ruska developed the first prototype of electron microscope together with Max Knoll in 1931 and two years later, he (alone) built the first electron microscope which gave a better resolution than the light microscope. In 1986, Ruska was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in the field of electron optics as well as for construction of the first electron microscope.

Ernst Ruska was born on 25 December 1906 in Heidelberg, Germany to Professor Julius Ruska and his wife Elizabeth. After grammar school in Heidelberg, he continued education at the Technical College in Munich and later in Berlin where he got involved with high voltage and vacuum technology. At the same time, he worked on the development of high performance cathode ray oscilloscope with Dr Max Knoll and other students. Soon, however, Ruska became interested in electrons. His first scientific work in 1928-29 thus dealt with Hans Busch’s electron lens. And while he was researching Busch’s discovery, he realised that that an electron microscope with a 1,000 times shorter wavelengths from the ordinary light microscope could be used to get a better image with more details.
