Sudipta,

                  Thanks for this - it is very interesting.  You will
have noticed that Vitaly Boyko dug out a Jan Wichmann in Finland, and I
have contacted him.  He was not the Jan Wichmann of the Wichmann and
Hell paper.  So does Jurgen know what the 'real' Jan Wichmann ended up
doing?

According to Prof. Jurgen Wolfrum, Wichmann's Ph.D. advisor and
currently a
visitor here, Wichmann left science without finishing his Ph.D. for
personal
reasons. He had taken a leave for a few months during his Ph.D. period
to
pursue the STED idea with Stefan Hell.
