Díky optické mikroskopii mohla vzniknout buněčná biologie. Významnou roli hraje tato mikroskopie též v materiálovém výzkumu a dalších vědních oborech, jakož i mnoha praktických činnostech. Od konce 19. století je zásluhou Lorda Rayleigha a Ernsta Abbeho známo, že rozlišovací schopnost standardních optických mikroskopů je rovna zhruba polovině vlnové délky použitého světla. V uplynulém čtvrtstoletí však vzniklo několik převratných metod, které zlepšily rozlišovací schopnost optických mikroskopů natolik, že místo o mikroskopii můžeme dnes již mluvit o nanoskopii., The invention of light microscope belongs to one of the most fundamental contributions ever made to the advancement of biology. This imaging technique played also an important role in material science and other disciplines, as well as in many practical applications. Before the end of the 19th century. Lord Rayleigh and Ernst Abbe recognised that the resolution limit of optical microscopes is about half the wavelength of the light used. In the past two decades, however, several revolutionary methods were established which improved the resolution of optical microscopes to such an extent that, instead of microscopy, we can now talk about optical nanoscopy., Jaromír Plášek., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
He began his university career as assistant to Professor B. Brauner in the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of Prague’s Charles University. He became the first Professor of Physical Chemistry at this University in 1926. Heyrovsky’s invention of the polarographic method dates from 1922 and he concentrated his further scientific activity on the development of this new branch of electrochemistry. The instrument designed for recording polarization curves was called a polarograph and from that the new method got the name polarography. In 1950, he was appointed director of the newly established Polarographic Institute which was incorporated into the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences from 1952 to 1992 and since then into the AS CR. and Květa Stejskalová.
