Eric Betzig and Harald Hess: Developing PALM Microscopy

About this talk
During their 20-year friendship, Betzig and Hess worked together and separately, in academia and industry, before eventually joining forces to develop the first super-high-resolution PALM microscope. They tell us the story of this journey and emphasize how their unusual and varied backgrounds provided the skills to complete the project.
