Midway through the twentieth century, the availability of new and improved optical and electronic microscopes facilitated rapid advances in the elucidation of the fine structure of fungal cells. In this Essay, I pay tribute to Manfred Girbardt (1919-1991) and Charles Bracker (1938-2012)—two individuals who, despite being separated by geography and the restrictions of the Cold War, both made equally fundamental discoveries in fungal cell ultrastructure and set high standards for specimen manipulation and image processing.
在二十世纪中叶,新型和改进型的光学和电子显微镜的出现促进了真菌细胞精细结构阐明方面的快速发展。在这篇文章中,我向 ManfredGirbardt(1919-1991)和 CharlesBracker(1938-2012)致敬——这两个人尽管被地理和冷战的限制分隔开来,但都在真菌细胞超微结构方面做出了同样重要的发现,并为标本处理和图像处理设定了高标准。
