SPIE Fellows
59 New SPIE Fellows Elected
Each year, SPIE promotes members as new Fellows of the Society. SPIE will honor 59 new Fellows of the Society this year. Fellows are Members of distinction who have made significant scientific and technical contributions in the multidisciplinary fields of optics, photonics, and imaging. They are honored for their technical achievement, for their service to the general optics community, and to SPIE in particular. More than 550 SPIE members have become Fellows since the Society's inception in 1955.
"The annual recognition of Fellows provides an opportunity for us to acknowledge outstanding Members for their service to the general optics community," says Maria Yzuel, SPIE President. 2009 SPIE Fellows
