| biography:
| Botanist, born in Küssnacht, N Switzerland. He studied in Zürich, Jena, and Paris, and became professor of botany in Zürich in 1938. He did much to establish submicroscopic studies of plant cells by the use of polarization microscopy, in the period before c.1940. Thereafter, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques became available to confirm and extend his results by these more direct methods. He is considered the founder of molecular biology. |
