Dieter Martin Pohl (born 1938) is a  German–Swiss physicist known for his contributions to the field of near-field optics and nanophotonics. Education. Pohl studied physics at ETH Zurich, where he completed his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor George Busch, specializing in experimental solid-state physics. After obtaining his doctorate, Pohl joined IBM's research laboratory in Rüschlikon, Switzerland, where he focused on various fields, including laser physics, optics, and scanning probe microscopy. Career. During his time at IBM, Pohl made substantial contributions to the field of near-field optics, including the invention of ANSOM, which has had a profound impact on the study of optical properties at the nanoscale. His pioneering work in this area helped lay the groundwork for the emerging field of nanophotonics, where light-matter interactions are explored at dimensions smaller than the wavelength of light. Pohl has also been a prolific author, publishing numerous research papers on topics related to optics, microscopy, and photonics. His work has been recognized globally, and he has received several awards for his contributions to physics, particularly in optical microscopy techniques. Dieter Pohl’s research is primarily focused on overcoming the diffraction limit of light, which had long been a barrier in optical microscopy. His development of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) allowed researchers to achieve spatial resolution far beyond the capabilities of traditional light microscopes. This technique involves scanning a tiny aperture very close to the surface of the sample, capturing evanescent waves that contain high-resolution information.

Compactness is a property of mathematics that seeks to generalize the idea of closed and bounded sets. A compact space has no gaps or missing parts, and it includes all the limit points. For example, the interval formula_1 is not compact because the closure points 0 and 1 are not included of this interval. But formula_2 is compact because its both closure points are included to this interval.

Sorry! is a board game that is played between two to four players and their goal is to get all four pawns to their home space. Instead of using dice, they use cards to show what do they mean. If a pawn gets bumped (or captured (but not your own)), it returns to their own start spot. And they are not allowed to have two pawns of their colour on the same space. If you land on a triangle that has a slide sign that contains your own colour on the board, you slide to the circle spot and bump any pawns on the slide (including your own) back to their start spot. If you land on the middle of the slide or a triangle that does not contain you own colour, then you do not slide. If the deck runs out of cards, then shuffle the cards and put them face-down on the "cards here" rectangle spot.
