Abstract
It was a businessman, not a trained scientist, who first gained entry to the cryptic world of cells. This program relates the early history of microbiology and genetics, beginning with the story of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a 17th-century Dutch textile merchant with a talent for making microscopes. Moving from van Leeuwenhoek’s discovery of “animalcules” to Robert Hooke’s cork studies and coinage of the term cell, the film then focuses on Joseph Jackson Lister’s multi-lens microscope technology, Robert Brown’s identification of cell nuclei, and the collaboration of Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden. Robert Remak’s groundbreaking findings about cell division form the climax of the episode. Original BBC broadcast title: The Hidden Kingdom. A part of the series The Cell.
