MOLLENSTEDT,GOTTFRIED AND HIS ELECTRON BIPRISM - 4 DECADES OF CHALLENGING AND EXCITING ELECTRON PHYSICS

With his invention of the electron biprism in 1954, Gottfried Mollenst edt gave birth to the field of electron interferometry and holography. During the subsequent years in his Tubingen Institute of Applied Phys ics, he and his students as well as Post-Does systematically investiga ted the basics of electron wave optics and the applications in electro n interferometry and holography. additionally, he stimulated a lot of corresponding research in the field all over the world.
