 Molecular Expressions: Science, Optics and You - Timeline - Joseph Jackson Lister
Many scientists had attempted to rectify such difficulties, but the nineteenth century amateur microscopist Joseph Jackson Lister is credited with making some of the most important advances toward correcting image aberrations and establishing the microscope as a powerful means of carrying out serious scientific investigations.
Joseph Jackson Lister began studying lenses in the mid-1820s, but his landmark paper explaining how lenses could be combined in a compound microscope in such a way that chromatic aberration was greatly reduced was not submitted to the Royal Society until 1830.
Aided by the renowned optician William Tulley, Lister had found that by combining lenses of flint glass with those of crown glass and spacing them at specific distances from one another the refractive problems of one were amended by the other, enabling clearer microscopic observations than ever before.
