	Robert Brown, originator of Brownian movement and the cell nucleus, in research by Brian J Ford.
		Brown was offered a government salary whilst he worked on the material, and devoted the next five years to describing 2,200 of the species, over 1,700 of which were previously unknown.
		But matters moved more quickly, for Robert Brown was able to negotiate the transfer of the specimens in 1827, on condition that they become a permanent part of the British Museum and that he remained their curator for life.
		Robert Brown had read the accounts of many of the earlier workers who had seen this phenomenon, and noted that they tended to associate it with organic matter (on the assumption that is was linked with the mechanisms of life).

		Almost two centuries ago, Robert Brown became fascinated by the incessant zigzag motion of fragments in pollen grains, a seemingly obscure phenomenon that would come to be named after him.
		Though an obscure figure today, Brown was a well-known botanist who was honoured across Europe, gaining an honorary doctorate from Oxford at the same time as Michael Faraday and John Dalton, pioneering the exploration of Australia and even advising Charles Darwin on what equipment he should take with him on the Beagle.
		Brown's gravestone, in Kensal Green cemetery in London, is crumbling and overgrown.

		Robert Brown was the son of James Brown, a Scottish Episcopalian clergyman.
		Brown's experiments with organic and inorganic substances, reduced to a fine powder and suspended in water, then revealed such motion to be a general property of matter in that state.
		Brown was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1810 and became a Fellow of the Linnean Society in 1822.

		Robert Brown was born in Scotland in 1733 and at the age of 21 he joined the army as a Surgeon’s Mate after failing to finish his degree in medicine at Edinburgh University.
		Brown’s task was to collect as many plant specimens as possible, wherever the ship anchored during the expedition.
		Among his numerous achievements, Brown improved the natural classification of plants by establishing and defining new families and genera, he observed and described a natural continuous motion; the Brownian movement; ceaseless, zigzag random movement of microscopic particles when suspended in liquid or gas.

		It is worth recalling that his private secretary was the distinguished botanist Robert Brown, to whom he bequeathed his herbarium and library.
		Brown took part in the celebrated expedition of Flinders to Australia, which started in 1801, and added greatly to our knowledge of the fauna and flora of Australasia.
		This, as one of his biographers remarks, was “a triumph of genius,” for Brown worked only with the simple microscope, and the technique of staining cells and tissues was then unknown.
