Deutsche Gesellschaft für Elektronenmikroskopie
The German Society for Electron Microscopy (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Elektronenmikroskopie, abbreviated DGE) is a learned society founded in 1949 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Ernst Brüche suggested that an association dedicated to electron microscopy be formed to coordinate German work. In the immediate post-World War II period, there were three German centers of research on electron microscopes: in Berlin under Ernst Ruska, in Mosbach under Brüche, and in Düsseldorf under Bodo von Borries.[1]
The first president of the DGE was Ruska, and its first committee members were Hans Mahl, Fritz Jung, Walter Kikuth and Otto Scherzer and von Borries.[2]
Hans Busch was elected an honorary member at the Society's first meeting.[1]
