Photographic Print : Musschenbroeks experiment, the discovery of the transpiration of plants. By covering a plant with a bell glass cemented to a plate of lead which covered its root he discovered that every morning the leaves were covered in dew as was the inside of the jar, this was due to the process of water movement through the plant and its evaporation from leaves, stems and flowers. Pieter van Musschenbroek, 1692 - 1761. Dutch scientist. From The Universe or, The Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little, published 1882

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the groundbreaking experiment conducted by Pieter van Musschenbroek, a renowned Dutch scientist of the 18th century. In his quest to unravel the mysteries of plant life, Musschenbroek devised an ingenious method to study transpiration - the movement of water through plants and its subsequent evaporation. The image showcases a bell glass carefully sealed onto a lead plate covering the roots of a plant. Through this setup, Musschenbroek discovered that each morning, both the leaves and inside of the jar were adorned with dew. This phenomenon was attributed to water's journey within the plant as it traveled from roots to stems, flowers, and eventually evaporated from their surfaces. Musschenbroek's experiment revolutionized our understanding of how plants regulate moisture levels and maintain their health. His meticulous observations laid the foundation for further research in botany and paved the way for advancements in agriculture and horticulture. Published in 1882 as part of "The Universe or, The Infinitely Great and Infinitely Little" this remarkable photograph not only commemorates Musschenbroek's pioneering work but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration. It reminds us that even centuries later, we continue to build upon past discoveries in our ongoing pursuit of knowledge about nature's wonders.
