Thin sections for the microscopical investigation of tissues were first mentioned by the inventor of the compoud microscope Robert Hooke in his Micrographia, published in London in 1665, in which he describes using a sharp knife to prepare specimens of cork. In 1770 John Hill published a description of his microtome for cutting sections of wood, copies of which were manufactured by Jesse Ramsden. In 1839, the French instrument maker Charles Chevalier (1804-1859) first introduced the term "microtome" to science. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
