| biography:
| Biophysicist, born in Santa Rosa, California, USA. He studied physics at Cornell University, and from 1950 taught at the University of California, Berkeley. His early research was in astronomy, but from the 1940s he was concerned with electron microscopy, and with Ralph Wyckoff he devised a metal-shadowing technique that could be used for sensitive biological materials. From this basis he became concerned with viruses, and made major contributions to knowledge of their structure in the 1950s. |
