Mark,

Your last posting peaked my curiosity, so I decided to look a bit into this. The best I could come up with was a document by Barry Masters on the history of fluorescence microscopy:

http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&ved=0CEMQFjAAOAo&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fen.bilkent.edu.tr%2F~physics%2Fnews%2Fmasters%2FELS_Hist_Fl_Micro.pdf&ei=4rlyUe2hLtGp4APHr4GwCg&usg=AFQjCNEW1u-TzRGu5wml8GZ26qGUN9iW3A&sig2=HnzzQ9CvfTkEvfJWVcfCeg&bvm=bv.45512109,d.dmg&cad=rja

Both Brumberg and Ploem are mentioned in the context of some very important developments of epi-fluorescence microscopy. By chance, does anyone have a copy of the papers cited involving these authors? (Brumberg 1959, and Ploem 1967).
