The object
Maximilian Haider co-developed electron-optical correctors that compensate spherical aberration in transmission electron microscopes. The correction hardware sharply improves microscope resolution, while CEOS, the company Haider co-founded, designs and manufactures the correctors for materials and biological imaging systems.
What Maximilian did
Co-developed and commercialized spherical-aberration correctors for transmission electron microscopes.
Why it matters
Aberration correction pushed electron microscopy toward direct visualization of atomic structures and is manufactured as a specialist instrument component.
