出于疑惑给诺贝尔奖评奖委员会写了一封信，询问为什么Xiaowei Zhuang没有获奖，没想到很快收到回复。答复中解释：

Dear xxxxx, Please, note that the prize motivation for Dr. Betzig has two aspects. One concerns his theory from 1995 and the other his experimental work 2006 (PALM). You may also note the submission date of his paper, for the record.

所以查了一下投稿日期：

确实是Eric Betzig先投的论文，而且有先前的基础工作在里面，权重不同。即使这样也十分为Xiaowei Zhuang惋惜。
