The Keen Insight of the late Professor Reiji Natori

摘要

"A more distant object appears smaller. Physics that converts infinite to zero will facilitate your understanding of nature." This brief comment by the late Professor Reiji Natori made a great impression on me. He made it during a lecture on the physiology of visual sensation while I was a medical student wondering what to do with my future. As soon as I graduated from The Jikei University School of Medicine, I began to study physiology with Professor Natori. I found myself interested in applying diffraction techniques to monitor the dynamic structure of skinned skeletal muscle fibers at a su-pramolecular level. I soon discovered that the physics of diffraction was exactly as Professor Natori had described.
