Thank you John,
great job!
Dear Guy, thank you for the link. Leica, however, has given a wrong
citation to the Brumberg's paper. The correct citations can be found here:
http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/w/page/65550417/First%20Paper%20on%20Fluorescence%20MicroscopyRegarding the Global priority of any particular knowledge and IP, I
believe that the "barriers" similar to the Iron Curtain were still
transparent to the scientific papers published in the open journals.
From the other hand, "lack of the access to the Intellectual Property
produced in a local language cannot be the excuse for postulating the
Global priority in this particular IP produced later in another local
language. Principles of Equity of language and geographic location can
be observed if based on the chronological priority only."
http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/w/page/65615734/Local%20vs%20Global%20Priority%20of%20Intellectual%20PropertyAs the examples, the atomic bombing of Japan by USA and the first manned
space flight by Soviets are the well-known evidence of the historical
priority in the top secret IPs respectively at that time.
I believe that the translation to English and sharing of the
historically interesting artefacts like first paper on epifluorescence
microscopy is a minor problem and can be easily crowdsourced in MIAWiki
or elsewhere:

>> Brumberg is given due credit. Of course the Iron Curtain meant that Ploem was not originally aware of that work, and the Brumberg and Krylova 1953 paper is in Russian, so may not mean much to most of us even if it can be found. (Suspect you'd have to use Cyrillic Google to find since English Google doesn't).
