Description1943 Device for micro-cinematography- under the direction of Kurt Michel, the first film on cell division is produced in a Zeiss laboratory with the aid of a phase-contrast microscope (6892933110).jpg
During World War II, microscope development has to be soft-pedaled, on government order. Nevertheless, the microscope development laboratory designs and builds a cine-micrographic apparatus and in 1943 shoots the first cine record of a cell division through a phase microscope – an examination method that opens up a new era of cell research.
