The author is responsible for the striking physiological observation and first description of the circulation of endoplasm in Paramecium. The significance of this was not realized by Ehrenberg at the time and was finally confirmed by Carus in 1834. The discovery had a profound impact on the ideas of cell theory and evolution in the early 19th century. He was a staunch opponent of the 'romantic' in natural philosophy see his later work Uber Naturforschung and an indefatigable teacher and researcher. A little known and important work.
