Henderson shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2017 with Jacques Dubochet and Joachim Frank.[4]"Thanks to his work, we can look at individual atoms of living nature, thanks to cryo-electron microscopes we can see details without destroying samples, and for this he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."[5]
