  • 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].

  • Siegfried Czapski
    Siegfried Czapski Siegfried Czapski (* 28. Mai 1861 auf dem Gut Obra bei Koschmin, Provinz Posen; † 29. Juni 1907 in Weimar) war ein deutscher Physiker. Inhaltsverzeichnis Kindheit, Schule und Studium in Breslau (1870–1881) Studium und Abschluss in Berlin (1881–1884) Technische Optik: Carl Zeiss in Jena (ab 1884) Gründung der Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Siegfried und Margarete Czapski Literatur Weblinks Einzelnachweise Siegfried Czapski Kindheit, Schule und Studium in Breslau (1870–1881) Czapski war der Sohn von Simon Czapski (1826–1908) und dessen Ehefrau Rosalie Goldenring (1830–1916). 1870 erlitt der Vater einen schweren Unfall, in dessen Folge er berufsunfähig wurde. Die Familie verkaufte das Gut und zog nach Breslau um, wo ab 1872 der elfjährige Czapski das Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium besuchte. 1879 machte er dort Abitur (zusammen mit Wilhelm Prausnitz, Richard Reitzenstein sowie Felix Skutsch) und begann sein Studium für ein Semester an der Universität Göttingen: Er hörte Vorlesungen bei Eduard Riecke (Physik), Moritz Abraham Stern (Mathematik) und Rudolf Hermann Lotze (Philosophie). Ab seinem zweiten Semester studierte er an der Universität Breslau Physik bei Oskar Emil Meyer, Ernst Dorn und Felix Auerbach, Mathematik bei Jakob Rosanes und Philosophie bei Jacob Freudenthal. Seit dieser Zeit war er mit Arthur Heidenhain (1862–1941) befreundet, mit dem ihn eine lebenslange Brieffreundschaft verband. Studium und Abschluss in Berlin (1881–1884) 1881 wechselte Czapski an die Universität Berlin, um dort bei den Physikern Hermann von Helmholtz und Gustav Robert Kirchhoff zu studieren. Er stand in Kontakt mit Leopold Loewenherz. Sein Interesse galt der Experimentalphysik und so belegte er auch praktisch-handwerkliche Kurse. 1882 arbeitete Czapski für die Normal-Eichungskommission unter Leitung des Astronomen Wilhelm Julius Foerster.

The annotations in this bibliographic catalogue are taken from the books themselves, the 1932, 1935 and 1957 BOA Library Catalogues, Albert, ‘ Sourcebook of Ophthalmology’, IBBO vols 1 & 2, various auction catalogues and booksellers catalogues and ongoing curatorial research. This list was begun by the BOA Librarian (1999-2007) Mrs Jan Ayres and has been continued by the BOA Museum Curator (1998- ) Mr Neil Handley. Date of current version: 12 February 2015 ABBOTT, T.K. Sight and touch: an attempt to disprove the received (or Berkeleian) theory of vision. Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts & Green, 1864 A refutation of Berkley’s theory that the sight does not perceive distance, which is perceived by touch or by the locomotive faculty. Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney (1844-1920) The English physicist Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney (1843-190?) was one of the founders of modern photography. His interest in the theory of light, colour photography and spectroscopy spurred his investigations into colour vision. He entered the Royal Navy at the age of 17, retiring in 1881 with the rank of Captain. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1876 he was awarded the Rumford Medal in 1882 for his work on radiation. He was a pioneer in the chemistry of Photography. In 1892 he gave a lecture at the Royal Society of Arts on ‘Colour Blindness’ and in 1894 delivered the Tyndall Lectures at the Royal Institution on Colour Vision.

  • Electric Arcs, Cyanamide, Carl Bosch and Fritz Haber
    Chapter 2 Electric Arcs, Cyanamide, Carl Bosch and Fritz Haber 2.1 Electrochemistry Concerns over depletion of reserves of caliche, and the Chilean hold on the saltpetre monopoly, led leading European scientists to encourage investigations into methods for the direct fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. In Britain they included Sir William Crookes (1832–1919), who in 1898, in his presidential address to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, at Bristol, spoke of a Multhusian threat represented by an impending fertilizer crisis once the Atacama desert’s deposits were spent. Crookes’ speech on “The World’s Wheat Supply,” predicting certain doom unless the nitrogen problem was solved, was widely publicized. Not everyone however agreed with his prognosis. Some thought that he was given over to exaggeration [1, 2]. Estimates of reserves varied, from two decades to half a cen- tury, and in the case of the nitrate industry to over a century. During 1871–1880, Crookes had been a director of the Native Guano Company, founded in London in 1869 to convert human excrement into fertilizer. In his 1898 speech he alluded to investigations into the capture of atmospheric nitrogen with the aid of electricity. By this time electrochemistry had become an established industrial field. Early processes, for aluminium and inorganic chemicals, were based on electrolysis. In 1886, Charles Martin Hall (1863–1914) in the United States and, independently, Paul L. V. Héroult (1863–1914) in France, reduced aluminium oxide (alumina) to the free metal, aluminium [3]. The process involved dissolving alumina in fused cryolite, a natural mineral containing aluminium.
