Ernst Ruska was, for all intents and purposes the inventor of the Electron Microscope. He designed and built many such machines over his long life, starting in the university Berlin, and later working for Siemens where he created the famous Elmiskop Series.
He invented the Transmission electron microscope together with his friend Bodo von Borries and Max Knoll.
