  • Ernst Abbe 1840-1905: a Social Reformer
    We all do not belong to ourselves Ernst Abbe 1840-1905: a Social Reformer Fritz Schulze, Canada Linda Nguyen, The Canadian Press, Wednesday, January 2014: TORONTO – By the time you finish your lunch on Thursday, Canada’s top paid CEO will have already earned (my italics!) the equivalent of your annual salary.* It is not unusual these days to read such or similar headlines. Each time I am reminded of the co-founder of the company I worked for all my active life. Those who know me, know that I worked for the world-renowned German optical company Carl Zeiss. I also have a fine collection of optical instruments, predominantly microscopes, among them quite a few Zeiss instruments. Carl Zeiss founded his business as a “mechanical atelier” in Jena in 1846 and his mathematical consultant, Ernst Abbe, a poorly paid lecturer at the University Jena, became his partner in 1866. That was the beginning of a comet-like rise of the young company. Ernst Abbe was born in Eisenach, Thuringia, on January 23, 1840, as the first child of a spinnmaster of a local textile mill.Till the beginning of the 50s each and every day the Lord made my father stood at his machines, 14, 15, 16 hours, from 5 o’clock in the morning till 7 o’clock in the evening during quiet periods, 16 hours from 4 o’clock in the morning till 8 o’clock in the evening during busy times, without any interruption, not even a lunch break. I myself as a small boy of 5 – 9 years brought him his lunch, alternately with my younger sister, and watched him as he gulped it down leaning on his machine or sitting on a wooden box, then handing me back the empty pail and immediately again tending his machines." Ernst Abbe remembered later.

  • Optical Expert Named New Professor for History of Physics at University and Founding Director of German Optical Museum
    URL: http://www.uni-jena.de/en/News/PM180618_Mappes_en.pdf Optical Expert Named New Professor for History of Physics at University and Founding Director of German Optical Museum Dr Timo Mappes to assume new role on 1 July 2018 / jointly appointed by University of Jena and German Optical Museum Dr Timo Mappes has been appointed Professor for the History of Physics with a focus on scientific communication at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany). He will also be the founding Director of the new German Optical Museum in Jena. Mappes will assume his new duties on 1 July 2018. Scientist, manager and scientific communicator "The highly complex job profile for this professorship meant the search committee faced a difficult task. We were very fortunate to find an applicant with so many of the necessary qualifications," says Prof. Dr Gerhard G. Paulus, Chairman of the search committee, adding: "If the committee had been asked to create its ideal candidate, it would have produced someone that resembled Dr Mappes." Mappes has a strong background in science and the industrial research and development of optical applications, and over the last twenty years has become very well-respected in the documentation and history of microscope construction from 1800 onwards. Last but not least, he has management skills and experience in sharing his knowledge with the general public, and with students in particular. All of this will be very beneficial for the German Optical Museum. The new concept and the extensive renovation of the traditional Optical Museum in Jena will make way for the new German Optical Museum, a research museum and forum for showcasing the history of optics and photonics.

    MANCHESTER MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY Micro Miscellanea Newsletter of the Manchester Microscopical and Natural History Society Issue Number 94 – May 2020 ISSN 1360-6301 Letter from the President I write this letter on VE75 day, May 2020. They endured 6+ years – making me think how has our Society managed its last 6+ months? Summer 2019 – a long time ago, we had a great all day meeting at the University of Manchester, including an update from myself on the magnificent past, present and especially the future of microscopy. Wow! Well is that it then! A number of the committee members discussing just before the start of the February 2020 MMS meeting about the poor turnout at recent meetings, problems of travel due to the heavy traffic in Manchester, lack of contributions to meetings and articles for the Newsletter, and of course lack of younger members. Should we finally wind things up at the AGM next month – our 140th anniversary? This had been discussed several times in the previous months. Ten minutes later all changed – several members arrived, a new younger chap high up in a major microscope supply company also appeared – keen on joining and possibly producing social media pages for the society. He also presented an update on use of state of the art image analysis. So encouraged, we started to plan next season. One month later – all changed again, several days before our 140th AGM, coronavirus COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing arrived and we had to cancel the meeting at short notice, especially as many of our members were male and aged over 70! This looked like the last straw.

  • Who Was Horatio Saltonstall Greenough? Part 3
    HSG Who was Horatio Saltonstall Greenough? Part 3 Berndt-Joachim Lau (Germany) R. Jordan Kreindler (USA) _______________________________________________________ 11. His Adaptation of Chabry’s Pipet Holder The years beginning in 1892 were HSG’s most creative period. He dealt with many issues at the same time and wrote on several in each letter. We will arrange these issues separately in the next paragraphs in order to present them more clearly. HSG directed his letters to Prof. Ernst Abbe up to November 1892. However, it was Dr. Siegfried Czapski who replied to him all the time. HSG addressed his letters to “Mess.rs Carl Zeiss Gentlemen” or “Herrn Carl Zeiss, Optische Werkstätte Jena” or “Carl Zeiss Esq.” even though the company’s founder had passed away in 1888. HSG did not know with certainty that Dr. Czapski was a member of the company’s management, along with Prof. Abbe, and his right-hand in scientific issues. HSG’s visit to Jena and a personal meeting will be needed for him to accept Dr. Czapski as addressee and qualified partner [BACZ 1578]. HSG’s request on a capillary rotator as an accessory to the compound microscope was treated faster than his request regarding his stereomicroscope. Dr. Czapski (1861-1907) knew embryologic investigation from his friend Prof. Felix Anton Dohrn (1840-1909), former student of Prof. Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) and after that lecturer at Jena. Prof. Abbe (1840-1905) was his close friend, and he became acquainted with Dohrn by one of the discussion societies of various field scientists [Krausse, 1993] and both became collective skittle and chess players [Werner, 2005].

  • 300 Years of the Light Microscope
    From Animaculum to single-molecules: 300 years of the light microscope Adam J. M. Wollman, Richard Nudd, Erik G. Hedlund, Mark C. Leake* Biological Physical Sciences Institute (BPSI), Departments of Physics and Biology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK. *[email protected] Abstract Although not laying claim to being the inventor of the light microscope, Antonj van Leeuwenhoek, (1632 –1723) was arguably the first person to bring this new technological wonder of the age properly to the attention of natural scientists interested in the study of living things (people we might now term ‘biologists’). He was a Dutch draper with no formal scientific training. From using magnifying glasses to observe threads in cloth, he went on to develop over 500 simple single lens microscopes1 with which he used to observe many different biological samples. He communicated his finding to the Royal Society in a series of letters2 including the one republished in this edition of Open Biology. Our review here begins with the work of van Leeuwenhoek before summarising the key developments over the last ca. 300 years which has seen the light microscope evolve from a simple single lens device of van Leeuwenhoek’s day into an instrument capable of observing the dynamics of single biological molecules inside living cells, and to tracking every cell nucleus in the development of whole embryos and plants. 1. Antonj van Leeuwenhoek and invention of the microscope Prior to van Leeuwenhoek, lenses had existed for hundreds of years but it was not until the 17th century that their scientific potential was realized with the invention of the light microscope.

  • The Company's History of ZEISS
    The Company’s History of ZEISS - At a Glance (Original appeared in 1996 in a publication issued by the Regional Center for Political Education, Thuringia. Reproduced here with the kind permission of the authors: Wolfgang Mühlfriedel and Edith Hellmuth.) How it all started On 17 November 1846, mechanic Carl Zeiss, who was thirty years of age at the time, opened a small workshop and store in Jena's Neugasse No. 7. Equipped with theoretical knowledge and work experience, as well as contacts in the fields of natural sciences and mathematics at the University of Jena, within just a few months, Zeiss had established a customer base for the servicing or customized production of scientific tools and instruments. He also provided glasses, chemical weighing scales, drawing instruments and telescopes. The positive development of his business in the first year inspired Zeiss to hire journeymen and apprentices in 1847. He also rented two rooms in Wagnergasse No. 34 to do his work. In the summer of 1847, following the advice of his teacher, the botanist Mattias Jacob Schleiden, Zeiss devoted his attention to the building of simple microscopes. In September 1847, he produced the first low-power microscopes. At the beginning of the 1850s, there was an increase in the demand for observation instruments from the Zeiss Workshops, which now enjoyed a good reputation among microscopists due to their meticulous workmanship. At the time, the level of interest shown by scientists and medical professionals in compound microscopes was growing because these were the only instruments that provided the higher magnifications they wanted.
