Marton, L. (Ladislaus), 1901-
Ladislaus Laszlo Marton papers, 1908-1973.
This collection documents Marton's work with the electron microscope and consists of slides; experimental notebooks on electron microscopy and related technology; photographic data on electron microscope experiments, 1930-1950; blueprints of electron microscopes; drawings of photoelectric devices and their construction (1930's); and correspondence, 1908-1973.
Marton (1901-1979) was a physicist best known for his pioneer work in electron physics, specifically in electron microscopy, electron optics, and electron interferences and scattering. He was a member of the faculty at the University of Brussels (Belgium), 1928-1938. He came to the United States in 1938, and became a naturalized citizen in 1944. He was a research physicist at the RCA Manufacturing Company, 1938-1941, associate professor of electron optics, Stanford University, 1941-1946, and a physicist at the National Baureau of Standards, Washington, DC, 1946-1970. He was an honorary researach associate at the Smithsonian Institution, 1970-1979.
