Stefan Hell Biography

Stefan Hell is one of the most popular and richest Physicist who was born on December 23, 1962 in Arad, Romania. German scientist who won the award of 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics for the development of super-resolved microscopy. He established the Nanobiophotonics department within the German physicist who received the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics for the advancement of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. He founded the Nanobiophotonics department at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and has served as a professor at the Heidelberg University Faculty of Physics and Astronomy. Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and has been an associate professor in the Heidelberg University Faculty of Physics and Astronomy.

As American Neurobiologist Like American neurobiologist Roderick MacKinnon, he is the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics. He is also the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Born into a Banat Swabian family in Arad, Romania, he grew up at his parents’ home in nearby Sântana. Hell attended primary school there between 1969 and

1977. Subsequently, he attended one year of secondary education at the Nikolaus Lenau High School in Timișoara before leaving with his parents to West Germany in 1978. His father was an engineer and his mother a teacher; the family settled in Ludwigshafen after emigrating.

Hell began his studies at the Heidelberg University in 1981, where he received his doctorate in physics in 1990. His thesis advisor was the solid-state physicist Siegfried Hunklinger. The title of the thesis was “Imaging of transparent microstructures in a confocal microscope”. He was an independent inventor for a short period thereafter working on improving depth (axial) resolution in confocal microscopy, which became later known as the 4Pi microscope. Resolution is the possibility to separate two similar objects in close proximity and is therefore the most important property of a microscope.

He was married to a woman called Anna who has three children: Jonathan, Sebastian and Charlotte.

What did Stefan hell do?

Stefan Hell, in full Stefan Walter Hell, (born December 23, 1962, Arad, Romania), Romanian-born German chemist who won the 2014 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for using fluorescent molecules to bypass the inherent resolution limit in optical microscopy.

What did Stefan Hell discover?

Stefan Hell: I discovered that a light microscope can see sharper pictures that we believed in the 20th century, more than 100 years. This is important because light microscopy is the only way by which you can look into transparent things, important things such as cells, living cells or tissue.

What is Nanoscopy?

Nanoscopy describes the ability to see past the generally accepted optical limit of 200 – 300 nm. The first example of nanoscopy came in 1933, when German Physicist Ernst Ruska developed an electron microscope that had a resolution which exceeded that which could be observed with an optical light microscope.

How does Super resolution microscopy work?

The stripes fired at the sample interact with high frequency light produced from the sample. This interaction produces a third pattern that can be more easily analyzed. Using multiple images, further detail is obtained, and an image is reconstructed with around twice the resolution as traditional light microscopy.
