Eric Betzig (Nobel laureate)

Eric Betzig is an American scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014 for developing advanced microscopy techniques. His work allows scientists to view tiny structures inside living cells with unprecedented clarity, surpassing previous limits of optical microscopes. This breakthrough, known as super-resolution microscopy, enables detailed study of biological processes at the molecular level. Betzig's innovations have significantly advanced cell biology and medical research by providing a clearer window into the microscopic world, helping scientists better understand disease mechanisms and develop new treatments.
