Description
Two studies of ‘eels’ [nematodes, or roundworms], viewed by microscope, under magnification. Presumably this is the vinegar nematode Panagrellus redivivus (sometimes Turbatrix aceti). With a circled inset detail showing the view at normal size, to give scale.
Plate 17 from Amusement microscopique, tant pour l'esprit que pour les yeux, contenant... estampes... d'apres nature...by Martin Frobene Ledermuller, plates volume (Adam Wolfgang Winterschmidt, Nuremburg, 1764).
Inscribed above: ‘TAB.XVII.’
The accompanying text is headed: ‘Table XVII. Anguilles dans la Vinaigre & dans la Cole de Farin’. [Eels in vinegar and flour paste].
Martin Frobene [Frobenius] Ledermuller (1719-1769) German naturalist was employed in various capacities as a notary, turning to microscope studies after an illness induced temporary deafness.
