Chapter 5 of the Short History of Plant Science is published

The fifth chapter of the Short History of Plant Science is now published as a preprint via Zenodo. This chapter deals with plant light microscopy, and covers topics such as Robert Hooke coining the term ‘cell’ to describe ‘cells’ while imaging cork in the 17th century, the development of the Cell Theory by Schleiden and Schwann, the revolution that was brought upon all microscopists with the parallel development of the Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope and GFP as a protein tag, and finally the more recent developments such as Super-Resolution Microscopy, Vertical-Stage Microscopes or Light-Sheet Microscopes.
