Dear All<br>
<br>
Let me share with you - in his memory - this picture of a young Ken Downing that I took when we first met in March 1977 at the EMBO course in Basel, organized by Ueli Aebi and the late Ross Smith. The second picture is Ken in vivid discussion with Ueli Aebi
over a slide on the overhead projector. <br>
If I remember correctly we discussed, at that meeting, the transfer properties of a microscope system equipped with a half-aperture.<br>
<br>
Rest in peace Ken,<br>
<br>
Marin<br>

Ken made numerous contributions to our field and was respected and loved by everyone that knew him. His unique sense of humor, his kindness and his insights will be deeply missed.<br>
