At the FMI, microscopes are traditionally named after female scientists. Our newest microscope honors Susan Eaton, a renowned developmental cell biologist whose work continues to inspire the field.
Shout-out to @anupamahl.bsky.social who chose this name!

We traditionally name our microscopes after female scientists. Our latest are Hilde Mangold, who discovered embryonic organisers; Marthe Gautier, who identified the extra chromosome in Down syndrome; and Dorothy Hodgkin, who used X-ray crystallography to study molecule’s structure. #WomenInScience
