In 1959 he began working at the Institute of Biophysics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, becoming the institute’s director in 1977. Ivanitskii’s main efforts have been directed toward the development of biophysical methods of research using computer technology and coherent optics and applying them to cytology. He has also been concerned with the machine study of the structure of brain cells, with the analysis of blood cells, and with the machine construction of the karyotype. A scanning optical microscope was perfected under Ivanitskii’s direction. In 1970, Ivanitskii organized a center for the machine analysis of cell structures.
