Paper doi abstract bibtex This chapter discusses the contribution of the Reinhold Rüdenberg to the invention of the electron microscope. Reinhold Rüdenberg, well known for his leadership of electric power technology at Siemens in Germany, was one of the foremost electrical engineers of his time. As a father, Rüdenberg desired a cure for his son. As a scientist, Rüdenberg sought answers, such as where his son could have picked up the infection and the latest ideas about the disease. Having been convinced that visualizing the submicroscopic polio virus would be useful to the diagnosis and perhaps treatment of cases of polio, Rüdenberg set out toward this goal to develop microscope that could provide needed resolution to visualize virus. Rüdenberg had acquired an excellent working knowledge of optics, mainly during his years at Göttingen. Rüdenberg understood that one key to imaging the polio virus was the question of resolution—to overcome the limits caused by the relatively large wavelength of light. From this point in his pondering and through to his final designs his main goal was to find a method to overcome this limitation and to maintain a much higher resolution. After emigrating from Germany, Rüdenberg was invited by Clair L. Farrand to assist the Farrand Optical Company with the design and development of a new electron microscope. The construction and development of the prototype instrument took place at Farrand's main plant in the Bronx, New York. Rüdenberg provided periodic reports to the team, ranging from an initial analysis of the technical history of developments in electron microscopes in Germany and elsewhere up to that date, to an in-depth analysis of electrostatic microscope design principles and principles of magnetic shielding.
