1852In 4, pp. 49 + (1b) + (1) + (1b). Br. rifatta con carta d'epoca. Rara memoria in cui Rezzi si sofferma sulla dibattuta questione dell'invenzione del microscopio attribuendola all'inglese Cornelio Drebelio. Aggiunge l'A. "Se Galileo pero' non ha la gloria d'avere inventato il microscopio, non ha forse quella, che infra tutti fu il solo che seppe indovinare in Roma il modo d'usarne? che pose subito mano a fabbricarne parecchi? e che laddove era fino allora rimasto nelle mani del Drebelio e de' principi e cortigiani strumento di vano trastullo e passatempo, lo rivolse ad uso pubblico e all'ingrandimento dell'umano sapere...?". Nella seconda parte (pp. 25-28), l'A. parla dell'inedito galileiano, rinvenuto da Pierantonio Serassi, con considerazioni sulla Gerusalemme liberata di Tasso. L'ultima parte e' riservata a considerazioni sull'appartenenza o meno di Alessandro Adimari (Firenze, 1579 - Firenze, 1649), letterato e poeta lirico marinista, all'Accademia dei Lincei.

1821rif. 48349Paris Crochard 1821. No wrappers. In: "Annales de Chimie et de Physique Par MM. Gay-Lussac et Arago." tome 17 Cahier 4. With titlepage to tome 17. Pp. 337-414 a. 1 engraved folded plate. Entire issue offered. Amici's paper: pp. 412-434 a. 1 folded engraved plate. Clean and fine printed on good paper. First French edition of Amici's famous paper "Dei microscopii catadiottrici" first published in Italian in 1818 in which he describes his invention of a new type of catadioptric microscope the first with successfull achromatic lenses. The invention had a great impact on biology - Amici himself was able to see the streeming movements of protoplasm in the Alga Chara and in examining the hairs on the stigma of Purslane he saw a tube given off by the pollen grain and the granular content os prerform streaming movementys like those in Chara an importent feature in plant fertilization. unknown

1874rif. 45923Leipzig J.A. Barth 1874. Without wrappers. In "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff" Jubelband. With titlepage to "Jubelband". Titlepage with a stamp. Pp. 557-584 First appearance of a fundamental paper in modern optics in which Helmholtz published his discovery of the resolution limit of the microscope. He found that the limit for the difference of magnitude that we are able to distinguish plainly is in general found equal to half the wave-lenght of theparticular light employed. A further increase in optical power beyond that of the best modern instruments does not therefore seem possible. unknown
