History of diatom research in The Netherlands and Flanders
article
The history of diatom research in The Netherlands and Flanders is summarized in this report. A. van Leeuwenhoek observed diatoms as early as 1702. The first inventories were made in The Netherlands by R. B. van den Bosch (1846) and in Flanders by J.-J. Kickx (1867). Diatoms were already used in geological research in the second half of the nineteenth century. The Synopsis by H. van Heurck (1880-1885) enabled many twentieth century workers to do applied research for geological and ecological purposes. © 1993 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
