Carl Zeiss X-ray Microscopy Inc. history

Thanks to the work of scientist Ernst Abbe, microscopes have been based on theoretical calculations since 1872.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 with the Italian physician and scientist Camillo Golgi for their studies of the structure of the nervous system.

In 1911 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work, together with Moritz von Rohr, carried out for dioptric apparatus of the eye, with which they made the correction of refractive errors of the eye through the lens on a scientific basis.

Together with ZEISS he developed the first phase-contrast microscope, the prototype of which was made in 1936.

First prototype of a phase-contrast microscope based on Zernike's original design; he wins the Nobel Prize in 1953.

The winner of the Carl Zeiss Research Award 1992 is working in the field of femtosecond spectroscopy.

In a joint effort, Eigen, his Swedish colleague Rudolf Riegler and ZEISS succeeded in 1993 to create ConfoCor, the first commercial fluorescence correlation spectrometer.

Cornell is an American physicist who, along with Carl E. Wieman, was able to synthesize the first Bose–Einstein condensate in 1995.

Zewail was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on femtochemistry.

Therefore Cornell, Wieman, and Wolfgang Ketterle shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001.

Craig Mello and Andrew were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2006 for the discovery of RNA interference.

Osamu Shimomura, Professor Emeritus at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 together with two American scientists: Martin Chalfie of Columbia University and Roger Tsien of the University of California-San Diego.

Sir Andre Geim, a physicist working at the University of Manchester, was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics together with the Russian physicist Konstantin Novoselov "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene".
