SUMMARY:Jan Swammerdam's visions of nature - Claire Sabel (Department of H
 istory and Philosophy of Science)

DESCRIPTION:Swammerdam was one of the first early modern naturalists to tr
 eat insects in systematic depth and breadth. Swammerdam's achievements\, p
 articularly in representing insects in minute detail\, are typically assoc
 iated with his skilled use of the microscope. Through a close study of his
  1675 work on mayflies\, _Ephemeri Vita_\, I argue that Swammerdam's image
 s engage a much wider set of experimental observational methods and argume
 nts about how best to see nature.
