He made significant contributions to the field of botany, largely due to his innovative use of the microscope.
Abstract. It was Robert Brown who brought botany into the mainstream of developmental biology, integrating plant physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology into a holistic view of plant growth. Robert's scientific legacy is not just what he himself accomplished but also what he inspired others to do.
