10 - Robert Remak, Rudolph Virchow: "Omnis Cellule e Cellula

Remak and Virchow both developed the concept that all cells derive from pre-existing cells (although Virchow is generally given the credit), but each of them made significant contributions beyond this fundamental concept. A portion of this talk is based on Laura Otis' book on the "Muller Lab"

One of a series of talks derived from presentations in Spring of 2021 offering a personal view of the high points in the history of microscopy from 1660 to the recent present.
