Von Borries studied electrical engineering at the Technische Hochschule in Danzig (today Gdańsk University of Technology), and at Berlin (today Technische Universität Berlin), where he was awarded a PhD in 1932. Von Borries worked at RWE from 1934 to 1937. In 1937 he commenced work on electron microscopy with Ernst Ruska at Siemens & Halske AG in Berlin.

In 1953 he became a full professor at the Technical University of Aachen and established its Department of Electron Optics and Precision Engineering, where he worked until his sudden death in 1956.[1]
