Vernon Ellis Cosslett, FRS (16 Jun 1908 - 21 Nov 1990) was a British microscopist.
He worked with Bragg at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University on electron microscopy and founded the Electron Microscopy Department. He developed improved x-ray machines. [1]
He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1972 and won the Royal Medal in 1979 "In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the design and development of the X-ray microscope, the scanning electron microprobe analyser, the high voltage and ultrahigh resolution (2.5A) electron microscopes and their applications in many disciplines." [2]
He was elected president of the Royal Microscopical Society [3]
