Dear Small-Angle Scatterers, I have been requested by Petra Kotnik of Anton Paar to forward the sad message below to the small-angle scattering community. Many of you may have known Heimo Schnablegger in connection with Anton Paar's SAXSess instrument product line. He was also contributing significantly to an ISO SAXS measurement standard for particle size analysis, currently being drafted by ISO sub-committee TC 24 / SC 4. Heimo's sudden passing away about 10 days ago is a shock and a major loss to the small-angle scattering community.

Dr. Heimo Schnablegger from Anton Paar: = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ======================================================================== Graz, May 25, 2012 Mag. Dr. Heimo Schnablegger March, 1963 – May, 2012 It is our sad duty to inform you of the completely unexpected death of our Anton Paar colleague of many years, Mag. Dr. Heimo Schnablegger. Heimo Schnablegger was born March, 1963 in Villach, Austria. After his secondary education in Villach and his obligatory military service, he studied Chemistry at the University of Graz and wrote his Ph.D. thesis in Particle Sizing with Scattering Techniques in 1991 in the group of our longstanding partner Prof. Otto Glatter at the University of Graz in Austria. Heimo subsequently worked as a contract assistant at the University of Graz. Between 1993 and 1995 he was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge//USA. Working with Prof. Robert E. Cohen, he applied Small- Angle X-ray Scattering and Electron Microscopy to the characterization of block copolymers. In the following years 1999 to 2002 he worked as a senior scientist at the Max-Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Golm and at the University of Hamburg. In this period he focused on the structure and size determination of hierarchical and self-assembly systems. From October 2002, Heimo Schnablegger worked at Anton Paar GmbH in Graz in the course of our SAXS product line launch. He was the application-oriented scientist in this field that we had been seeking for a long time. With his help, we were able to build up strong development and sales skills for this product line and to successfully introduce the new product 'SAXSess' to the market. Time and again, enthusiastic emails were received full of positive comments on Heimo Schnablegger, both professional and personal. Heimo was a lovable, unconventional, independent and hard-working colleague. He played the drums as a hobby, and ultimately it was a concert of his band in Vienna that he was unable to attend. We are extremely grateful to Heimo Schnablegger. Without his collaboration and knowledge, the developmennt of the SAXSess product line in the last ten years would not have been possible, a development we will continue to build on in the future. We have lost an important and dear colleague in Heimo, who we will always remember with great admiration. Heimo, it saddens us deeply that you have left us so early.
