What type of microscopy did Huxley develop post-war?
Scanning Electron Microscopy
X-ray Microscopy
Interference Microscopy
Fluorescence Microscopy
Answer
Interference microscopy was developed by Andrew Huxley in the 1950s. It uses the interference of light waves to produce a magnified image of the object under observation. The image is formed by two beams of light, one of which is reflected from the object and the other from a reference mirror. The beams are then recombined and the interference pattern is recorded on a photographic plate or sensor.
