The Sixth Conference on Frontiers of Aberration Corrected Electron Microscopy was held in May 2021. Due to the pandemic situation it was a fully virtual event on an innovative platform called gather.town. In addition to the scientific program, four pioneers of transmission electron microscopy in solid state research and life sciences were honored: Colin Humphreys, Knut Urban, Wolfgang Baumeister, and John Spence.
