Maximilian Jacob Herzberger (7 or 17 Mar 1899, Berlin, Germany — 9 Apr 1982, New Orleans, USA)〔(Record ) at geni.com, and related records〕〔 was a German mathematician and physicist, known for his development of the superachromat lens. ==Life== Maximilian Herzberger was the son of Leopold Herzberger (born 7 Mar 1870, Krefeld — died in Rochester (NY)) and Sonja/Sofia Behrendt/Berendt/Berends (22 Mar 1876, Petersburg (Germany) — 28 Jan 1945, Florence); he had a sister Olga (24 Sep 1897, Berlin — 2 Aug 1922, Berlin). He studied mathematics and physics at the Berlin University, where Albert Einstein was one of his professors, and later became a friend and advisor.〔 In 1923, Herzberger finished his Ph.D. thesis ''Ueber Systeme hyperkomplexer Grössen'' under Ludwig Bieberbach and Issai Schur at the philosophical faculty.〔(Record ) at Humboldt University Berlin〕 In 1925, he married Edith Kaufmann (10 Oct 1901, Stuttgart — 16 Feb 2001, Carlsbad (California) or New Orleans); they had three children, born in Jena, viz. Ruth (born 1928), Ursula (1931), and Hans (6 Aug 1932, spouse of Radhika Herzberger).〔〔(Person sheet ) at goudsmit.home.xs4all.nl〕 No later than Sep 1930, he was assistant of Hans Boegehold,(de) the chief of calculation office at Carl Zeiss Jena.〔 In 1934, the Nazis deprived him from his professorship at Jena University and his contract with Zeiss. He emigrated with his family to Rochester (NY),〔(Catalog entry ) at medicusbooks.com, about a common letter of Boegehold and Herzberger to Erwin Lihotzky at the Ernst Leitz GmbH〕 where he got head of Eastman Kodak's optical research laboratories, arranged by Einstein.〔 In 1940, he and his family became U.S. citizens.〔 In 1945, he got the Cressy Morrison Award of the New York Academy of Sciences.〔 In 1954, he finished the development of the superachromat as the ultimately well-corrected lens for Kodak.〔〔Herzberger, M., and N. McClure, (''The design of superachromatic lenses'' ), ''Appl. Opt.'' Vol.2, pp. 553–560 (June 1963)〕 In 1962, he was awarded the Frederic Ives Medal of the Optical Society of America.〔(''Maximilian J. Herzberger Frederic Ives Medalist for 1962 ), JOSA, Vol. 53, Issue 6, pp. 657-657 (1963)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frederic Ives Medal / Quinn Prize - Awards - OSA.org | The Optical Society )〕 In 1965, he retired from his position at Kodak, and helped building a graduate institute for optics in Switzerland,〔 until in 1968 he followed invitation of the University of New Orleans to teach at their Physics Department.〔Lorena Dureau, (''Einstein's Protege'' ), p.56-58, Sep.???? (1970 or after)〕〔 He held patents for an ''"apochromatic telescope objective having three air spaced components"'',〔Oct. 1946 with Harvey O Hoadley, (US 2487873 ) at google patents〕 and a ''"superachromatic objective"''.〔May 1965 with Nancy R Mcclure, (US 3395962 ) at google patents〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maximilian Herzberger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
