When Stefan Hell read a section in this book, it opened up a new way of thinking. For many years, he had pondered the possibility of circumventing the theoretical boundary that limited the size of objects visible through a microscope. His idea met scepticism in Germany, so he left for Turku, Finland. While in Turku, he read this book about quantum optics. Reading about stimulated emission, the basis of laser technology, he had a new idea. This led to the development of a new form of microscopy that gave more detailed images than had previously been thought possible.
Stefan Hell donated the book to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2014. - Pristagare
