Dissertation: Onderzoekingen over de natuur der lichenen

Highest degree: doctor

Fields of interest:

• botany

Biography:
Treub was the son of the local burgomaster. After attending the municipal HBS in Leiden, he started his studies in biology at the university of Leiden in 1869. His most important teachers were the botanist W.F.R. Suringar and the zoologist E. Selenka. Treub received his Ph.D. in 1873 on a dissertation on the true nature of lichens (Onderzoekingen over de natuur der lichenen [Leiden: Van der Hoek, 1873]), an elaboration of an earlier gold medal winning study. From 1874 to 1880, Treub was botanical assistant to Suringar. The high quality of his studies on plant cytology, histology, nucleus division, and embryology brought him membership of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1879.
In 1880 Treub was appointed director of 's Lands Plantentuin (Botanical Garden) in Buitenzorg on Java in the Dutch East Indies (now Kebun Raya at Bogor, Indonesia). Within a year, he had rearranged the curriculum of the attached agricultural school. He went on to revitalize the gardens, herbaria, library, and scientific research. Treub insisted that applied agricultural research should always be based on pure scientific research. In 1883 he founded a new periodical, Mededeelingen, to publish the results of the researches carried on at the gardens. In order to accommodate the increasing numbers of foreign scientists visiting the gardens, Treub opened a new laboratory in 1885. Using various means of publication such as articles in a popular Dutch literary journal, and the newly founded journals Bulletin du jardin botanique de Buitenzorg and Teysmannia (both beginning in 1894), he tried to make the authorities and the general public aware of the rich economical potentials of the colony.
On medical leave in the Netherlands in 1887. Treub established the Buitenzorg Fund, which provided grants for botanists to work in Java. From that time onward, new laboratories were established and a programme was begun under Treub's guidance for the foundation of various agricultural research stations all over the colony. In 1890 he founded the Maatschappij ter Bevordering van het Natuurkundig Onderzoek der Nederlandsche Koloniën (Society for the promotion of natural scientific research in the Dutch colonies, commonly known as the `Treub Maatschappij'). Treub acquired a forest preserve next to the mountain garden in Tjibodas (now Cibodas) where, in 1891, a new field laboratory was founded.
Treub's own research dealt with various plant diseases, rice crops, the embryology and biohistory of club ferns, the fertilization of Casuarina, the embryology of Ficus and Elatostema, the plant sociology of the rain forest, and floras of Buitenzorg and of the recolonized island Krakatoa. Treub's merits were recognized by the colonial authorities who, in 1898, gave him the honourary title of professor although there was as yet no university in the Dutch East Indies. In 1905 Treub married Antoinette Petronella Vogel. The marriage remained childless. In that same year a Department of Agriculture was founded of which Treub became the first director.
In 1909 Treub retired for health reasons. He settled in Southern France where he died of persistent malaria in St. Raphael on 3 October 1910.

Biography:
Leeuwenhoek was originally trained as a cloth merchant and a surveyor. He worked in various positions for the city of Delft: Usher to the Aldermen (1660), Surveyor to the Court of Holland (1669), Chief Warden (1677), Wine Gauger and or Inspector of Weights and Measures (1679). From around 1673 he made microscopes according to the design of Johannes Hudde. Leeuwenhoek grinded some 550 lenses, the quality of which was not surpassed until the nineteenth century. He communicated his observations by letters to other scholars, mostly to the Royal Society. He made his most important discovery in 1674: the true nature of micro-organisms.

Biography:
Dollond was the son of a Huguenot refugee, a silk-weaver at Spitalfields, London, where he was born. He followed his father's trade, but found time to acquire a knowledge of Latin, Greek, mathematics, physics, anatomy and other subjects. In 1752 he abandoned silk-weaving and joined his eldest son, Peter Dollond, who in 1750 had started in business as a maker of optical instruments. His reputation grew rapidly, and in 1761 he was appointed optician to the king. In 1758 he published an "Account of some experiments concerning the different refrangibility of light", describing the experiments that led him to the achievement with which his name is specially associated, the discovery of a means of constructing achromatic lenses by the combination of crown and flint glasses, which reduces chromatic aberration (color defects). Leonhard Euler in 1747 had suggested that achromatism might be obtained by the combination of glass and water lenses. Relying on statements made by Sir Isaac Newton, Dollond disputed this possibility, but subsequently, after the Swedish physicist, Samuel Klingenstierna, had pointed out that Newton's law of dispersion did not harmonize with certain observed facts, he began experiments to settle the question. Early in 1757 he succeeded in producing refraction without colour by the aid of glass and water lenses, and a few months later he made a successful attempt to get the same result by a combination of glasses of different qualities. For this achievement the Royal Society awarded him the Copley Medal in 1758, and three years later elected him one of its fellows. Dollond also published two papers on apparatus for measuring small angles. John Dollond was the first person to patent the achromatic doublet. However, it is well known that he was not the first to make achromatic lenses. Optician George Bass, following the instructions of Chester Moore Hall, made and sold such lenses as early as 1733. In the late 1750s, Bass told Dollond about Hall's design, Dollond saw the potential and was able to reproduce them. Dollond appears to have known of the prior work and refrained from enforcing his patent. After his death, his son, Peter, did take action to enforce the patent. A number of his competitors, including Bass, Benjamin Martin, Robert Rew and Jesse Ramsden, took action. Dollond's patent was upheld, as the court found that the patent was valid due to Dollond's exploitation of the invention while prior inventors did not. Several of the opticians were ruined by the expense of the legal proceedings and closed their shops as a result. William Eastland, John and Jonathan Cuthbertson and James Champneys subsequently moved to The Netherlands. The patent remained valid until it expired in 1772. Following the expiry of the patent, the price of achromatic doublets in England dropped in half. [Wikipedia]
