OTTO GLASSER, a German
physicist working at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, received international
recognition for developing the condenser dosimeter to measure radiation
dosage. This assured the safe use of radiation therapy and served to protect
those working around radiation equipment on a daily basis. Glasser also
attained distinction as the biographer of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, discoverer
of x-rays in 1895.
Otto Glassers wife Emmy and his daughter Hannelore donated his professional
papers and related objects to the Dittrick Medical History Center in 1987.
