"Less clear examples of her photographs had been taken before the war. The key was getting them sharper, a difficult task, which Franklin had already succeeded at by April of 1952"

So was this improved technique a significant *experimental* accomplishment? It seems like that's a key question that the article doesn't really answer; rather, the article is focused on her lack of *theoretical* contribution to interpreting the photographs, but Nobel prizes are frequently given for purely experimental work (not saying she should have gotten one, just curious to understand better how impressive her experimental contribution was).
