The Nobel Prize papers

The Nobel prize in Chemistry has been awarded to those working in microscopy for the discovery and development of GFP (in 2008 to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Y. Tsien) and again in 2014 to to Eric Betzig, W.E. Moerner and Stefan Hell for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. The Nobel lectures these men gave are worth reading.

Super-resolution: development of STED by Hell; development by Moerner of single molecule microscopy and its use by Betzig. For the GFP papers, go here.
