While this is routinely used to manipulate light at the nanoscale 1, in electro-optic devices 2 and enhanced spectroscopic techniques 3-6, no characterization technique for imaging the underlying nanoscopic electromagnetic fields exists which does not perturb the field 4, 7 or employs complex electron beam imaging 8, 9. Here, we demonstrate the direct visualization of electromagnetic fields on patterned metallic substrates at nanometer resolution, exploiting a strong ‘autonomous’ fluorescence-blinking behavior of single molecules within the confined fields allowing their localization. Use of DNA-constructs for precise positioning of fluorescence dyes on the surface induces this distance-dependent autonomous blinking thus completely obviating the need for exogenous agents or switching methods. Mapping such electromagnetic field distributions at nanometer resolution aids the rational design of nanometals for diverse photonic applications. -

Printed in Great Britain 1369-8486/01 $ - see front matter www.elsevier.com/locate/shpsc ‘The Realm of Hard Evidence’: Novelty, Persuasion and Collaboration in Botanical Cladistics Jim Endersby* In 1998 a new classification of flowering plants generated headlines in the non- specialist press in Britain. By interviewing those involved with, or critical of, the new classification, this essay examines the participants’ motives and strategies for creating and maintaining a research group. It argues that the classification was produced by an informal alliance whose members collaborated despite their disagreements. This collaboration was possible because standardised methods and common theoretical assumptions served as ‘boundary objects’. The group also created a novel form of collective publication that helped to unite them. Both the collaboration and the pub- lishing strategy were partly motivated by the need to give taxonomy a degree of ‘big science’ credibility that it had previously lacked: creating an international team allowed more comprehensive results; and collective publication served to emphasise both the novelty of the work and its claims to objectivity. Creating a group identity also served to exclude practitioners of alternative forms of taxonomy. Finally, the need to obtain funding for continuing work both created the need to collaborate and influenced the way the classification was presented to the public. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Introduction: ‘A Rose is Still a Rose’ On 23rd November 1998, the Independent newspaper announced that ‘A rose is still a rose, but everything else in botany is turned on its head’. -

News and forthcoming Events from the Sedgwick Museum & the Friends of the Museum David Norman P.1-2 Change of Leadership Ken McNamara P.2 We start this Issue of Trilobite by featuring a change in leadership of the Museum. Our first Director Dr. David Norman has relinquished this post after twenty years. Below he has given us Alan Dawn, Roger Bishton & some thoughts about the evolution of the Museum during his twenty years. He has been replaced by Dr. Ken McNamara, and we provide an article on his career so far. Both are Gail Brown P.3 continuing in their University teaching and research positions.

The Sedgwick is a truly great The Museum has occupied its present building since museum with extraordinary 1904. The funding of the Museum and the arrangement collections that chart so many of of the exhibits owed much to Thomas McKenny Hughes, the steps forward made by real who was the successor to Adam Sedgwick as giants in the subject Woodwardian Professor of Geology. In the ninety years, or so, that have followed, only minor changes in the lay- out took place, and the key research function of curation and cataloguing, largely of fossil material, were rightly given priority over general geological education of the public of all ages. -

The Institute is part of the Terrestrial and Freshwater Sciences Directorate, and was established in' 1973 by the merger of the research stations of the Nature Conservancy with the Institute of Tree Biology It has been at the forefront of ecological research ever since. The six research stations of the Institute provide a ready access to sites and to environmental and ecological problems in any part of Britain. In addition to the broad environmental knowledge and experience expected of the modern ecologist, each station has a range of special expertise and facili- ties. Thus, the Institute is able to provide unparallelled opportunities for long-term, multidisciplinary studies of complex environmental and ecologi- cal problems. -

This was done in a thorough manner, and I am convinced that I could have written out the whole of the Evidences with perfect correctness, but not of course in the clear language of Paley. The logic of this book and, as I may add, of his Natural Theology gave me as much delight as did Euclid. The careful study of these works, without attempting to learn any part by rote, was the only part of the Academical Course which, as I then felt and as I still believe, was of the least use to me in the education of my mind. -
