He studied at the Technical University of Berlin and the Technical University of Munich, earning his degrees under the guidance of Max Knoll. In his career as a physicist, Ruska significantly advanced the field of electron microscopy, a technique that uses electron beams to create high-resolution images of tiny structures.
Ruska's father, Julius Ruska, was also a notable figure in the scientific community. Ernst Ruska passed away in West Berlin in 1988, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of science.
