Julius Plücker, lithograph
JAN 01 1856
An 1856 lithographic portrait of Julius Plücker, the Bonn physicist who followed Faraday into diamagnetism and worked out how crystals orient themselves in a magnetic field. His magnecrystallic work in the late 1840s turned Faraday's qualitative observation into a systematic study. 1683x2500 and exactly contemporary with the work.
