David John Hugh Cockayne FRS[5] FInstP (19 March 1942 – 22 December 2010) was Professor in the physical examination of materials in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford and professorial fellow at Linacre College from 2000 to 2009.[6][7] He was the president of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy from 2003 till 2007, then vice-president 2007 to 2010.[5]

Cockayne was an electron microscopist who played an important role in the development of weak-beam transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and in the application of high resolution TEM to diamond, fullerenes and semiconductors.[8][9][10]
