Ruska was born in Heidelberg . He was educated at the Technical University Of Munich from 1925 to 1927 and then entered the Technical University Of Berlin , where he posited that Microscope s using electrons, with waves 100,000 shorter than those of light, could provide a more detailed picture of an object than a microscope utilizing light, in which magnification is limited by the size of the wavelengths. In 1931 , he built an electron lens and used several of these in a series to build the first Electron Microscope in 1933 . Ruska worked at Siemens-Reiniger-Werke AG as a research engineer from 1937 to 1955 and then served as director of the Institute for Electron Microscopy of the Fritz Harber Institute from 1955 to 1972 . Concurrently, Ruska served at the institute and as professor at the Technical University Of Berlin , from 1957 until his retirement in 1972. In 1986 , he won half of the Nobel Prize In Physics for his many achievements in electron optics; Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer won a quarter each for their design of the scanning tunneling microscope. He died in West Berlin in 1988. EXTERNAL LINKS |
