7 de abr. de 2007 · Hillier's chief innovation was the astigmator, which allowed the user to tune the topics optimally, according to Nicolas Rasmussen, author of Picture Control: The Electron Microscope and the Transformation of Biology in America, 1940–1960.
Hillier also discovered the principle of the stigmator for correcting astigmatism of electron microscope objective lenses, invented the electron microprobe microanalyser, and was the first to picture tobacco mosaic viruses and an ultra-thin section of a single bacterium.
