Delong America marks with sadness the death of James Hillier, a pioneer in the field of electron optics.
Dr. Hillier was instrumental in designing electron microscopes for practical use by the scientific community – and was an advocate in the early years for its adoption.
We mourn his passing as we salute his accomplishments and recognize that were it not for his work our industry would be far from where it is today.
