He was the first to develop and implement imaging plate technology for recording synchrotron X-ray data, overcoming the tedious processing of X-ray films. The first prototype detector, the so-called \u2018Red Scanner\u2019, was a highlight instrument during the 80\/90s at the EMBL Hamburg Unit, and substantially contributed to revolutionising automation in X-ray crystallography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He will be remembered as one of the most pioneering and innovative scientists from the Hamburg Unit, and had a major impact on the Unit\u2019s historical achievements. May he rest in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matthias Wilmanns, Head of EMBL Hamburg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was with great sorrow that we heard that Jules Hendrix passed away. He was an inspiring scientist and a close and generous friend, always ready to help others.<strong><br><br>Stephen Provencher (EMBL Heidelberg Group Leader, Provencher Group, 1978-1985) and Carola Koitz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to add a message of condolence for inclusion on this page, please contact the\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:alumni@embl.org\">Alumni Relations team<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"120\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/hendrix_ov.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1018\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":498,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-title-left-aligned.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"embl_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-1549","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"embl_taxonomy_terms":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1549"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1813,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1549\/revisions\/1813"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embl_taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embl_taxonomy?post=1549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
