#25 — Harald Hess is a pioneer in the fields of high-throughput electron microscopy and super-resolution 3D microscopy, and today we’ll discover more about what inspired him, his move from academia to industry and back again, and who comes off best in his tennis matches with Eric Betzig.

We’ll hear how Harald and Eric built the first super-resolution microscope for PALM microscopy in Harald’s front room, what his mother thought of the first PALM images, and why science needs different approaches to progress.
