Shinya Inoué (cell biologist)
Shinya Inoué ( Japanese 井上信也 , Inoue Shin'ya * 5. January 1921 in London , † the 30th September 2019 in East Falmouth , Massachusetts ) was a Japanese - American cell biologist and Mikroskopeur . His scientific focus was on the microscopy of living cells.
Life
Inoué was the son of a Japanese diplomat. He earned a bachelor's degree in zoology from Tokyo University in 1944 and a Ph.D. in Biology from Princeton University in Princeton , New Jersey . He first taught at the University of Washington in Seattle , Washington , before receiving a professorship at Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1953 . In 1954, he moved to the University of Rochester in Rochester , New York , before taking up a professorship in cytology at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover , New Hampshire in 1959 . From 1966 to 1982 he was Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Since 1979 Inoué worked at the Marine Biological Laboratory , Woods Hole , Massachusetts .
Inoué was married to Sylvia McCandless Inoué and the couple had five children.
Act
Inoué and his staff have numerous light microscopy methods developed improved or theoretically substantiated, including the centrifuge polarization microscopy (centrifuge polarizing microscope) , highly destructive optical and video polarized light microscopy (high extinction polarization optical and video microscopy) and digital image processing techniques like dynamic stereoscopy . His polarizing microscope, which has been improved over decades, has found widespread use in scientific circles as the "Shinya-scope".
In 1951, with the help of his self-made polarization microscope, he was able to prove the existence of a spindle apparatus in all dividing cells. Through his microscopy of living cells he was able to show that the spindle apparatus is a dynamic part of the cells that is able to move chromosomes .
