Royal Raymond Rife (May 16, 1888 - August 11, 1971) is an important figure in alternative medicine. He is known in the alternative medicine community for allegedly inventing an optical microscope in 1933 that offered 31,000 times magnification, a magnification comparable to that of early electron microscopes. He used this invention to work with pleomorphic microbes in various media.

Rife also invented a device called the "Beam Ray," which he allegedly used in 1934 at a University of Southern California clinic in La Jolla, California to cure 16 patients of their cancer.
