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>

Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is with great sadness and disbelief that we write
to let you know that Ken Downing passed away last night,
peacefully, at his house, surrounded by his loving
family.<br>
<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>
