Dear Fellow listers,
For those of you who do fluorescence, Dr Ploem, inventor of the early
epi-fluorescence system known as the Ploemopak, is in the running for
a Nobel Prize. A special website has been set up on his
invention. Below is a note he recently sent to the New York
Microscopical Society.
Enjoy!

Dear Mel Pollinger,
I have been mentioned on the Dutch media as a possible
candidate for a Nobel Price. Some members of the N.Y.M.S may be
interested in some details on the development of multi-wavelenghs
epifluorescence microscopy.
A comprehensive WEBSITE has been created for the National Dutch
Science Museum to illustrate the reason for the incorporation of my
early prototype fluorescence epiilluminators in the permanent
collection of that museum, as well as the exposition of the very
first Leitz-Leica epi-illumination fluorescence microscope with a
Ploemopak fluorescence epi-illuminator in the VISEUM science Museum
in Wetzlar. Germany.

With kind regards
Johan Ploem, (J.S. Ploem)
