Zeitler’s “American phase” concluded in 1977, when was
appointed Director at Fritz Haber Institute in succession of Ernst Ruska, and where he remained until his retirement in 1995. Here, his own work and his role as director was centered on his core research passion—the use of high-energy electrons to image biological matter. Zeitler rigorously tested his ideas on the fundamental solution to the beam damage problem. Te answers to this challenge were cryo-EM and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and so these were two of the greatest areas of emphasis at the institute during his tenure as director. Te obituary published by the Fritz Haber Institute gives immense detail on Zeitler’s leadership, research, and impact (https://www.
fi.mpg.de/news-institute/obituary-for-elmar-zeitler?c=68418). Zeitler’s accolades are numerous and include: Honorary
Professor at the Technical University of Berlin (1975–1995), Distinguished Scientist from the (Electron) Microscopy Soci- ety of America (1989), and Honorary Member in numerous international organizations about EM. He served as President of the International Federation of Societies for Electron Micros- copy (IFSEM) from 1982 to 1984, a role he performed well given his natural diplomatic disposition. He was the driving force behind the formation of the journal Ultramicroscopy with North-Holland Publishing Company (Elsevier) and served as its Founding Editor. It is perhaps impossible to overstate his impact on the field of microscopy. His life story had a dramatic beginning and progressed into one of great accomplishments. I would like to acknowledge and give my thanks to Dr.Michael Isaacson for his help in preparing this article.
