The British physicist Archibald (“Archie”) Howie is known for his pioneering work on the interptation of transmission electron microscope images of crystals. Born in 1934, he attended Kirkcaldy High School and the University of Edinburgh. He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge, and then took up a permanent post at Cambridge where he has remained. In 1965, with Hirsch, Whelan, Pashley and Nicholson, he published the seminal text “Electron microscopy of thin crystals”. He was head of the Cavendish Laboratory from 1989-1997. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1978. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an imaging technique whereby a beam of electrons is focused onto a specimen causing an enlarged version to appear on a fluorescent screen or layer of photographic film (see electron microscope), or can be detected by a CCD camera. ...

The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1583, is a renowned centre for teaching and research in Edinburgh, Scotland. ... The University of Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world. ...

Archibald, who owned 800,000 Cypress shares, could easily retire on his gains, but don't count on it.
Archibald's former brother-in-law, Guy Turcotte, the widely respected founder of Chauvco Resources Ltd., acted as promoter for the new firm as it set out to raise capital using a combination of common stock and flow-through shares.
Archibald would make five more acquisitions, one for every year in business.
