Friedrich Hauser (physicist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Ludwig Gustav Hauser (born September 28, 1883 in Erlangen , † August 23, 1958 in Jena ) was a German physicist who dealt with technical optics and the history of science of Islam.

Life

Friedrich Hauser was the son of the pathologist Gustav Hauser (1856–1935). He studied physics at the TH Munich , where he was a student of Hermann Ebert and received his doctorate in 1910 with a dissertation on Bronson resistors. He then worked as an assistant to Eilhard Wiedemann in Erlangen, where he again received his doctorate (Dr. Phil.). In 1913 he completed his habilitation at the TH Munich. After the First World War, in which he was a soldier, he became an associate professor at the TH Munich in 1919. In 1922 he became laboratory manager and later authorized signatory of the company for optics Emil Busch in Rathenow and from 1931 he was in the microscopy department of Carl Zeiss in Jena , which he headed from 1945. After the Second World War he was brought to the Soviet Union (Leningrad) as a German specialist in 1946. After a stroke, he returned to Jena in 1952.

With Wiedemann he dealt with the history of science in medieval Islam, for example the history of clocks.

At Busch and Zeiss he developed reflected-light dark-field microscopy (patent for reflected-light dark-field condenser in 1925). He also invented optical apparatus for the cinema and theater (rainbow apparatus 1923) and a camera microscope (Metaphot) in Busch (1929).

In 1919 he became a member of the Leopoldina .
