(1), a famous botanist who was quite adept at looking at little things through microscopes, discovered something about small particles that was named after him. However, much later, people suspected that he may not have been able to do any such thing, because his microscope (2) was not good enough. Much later, (3) came along and proved that, while using (2), (1) would’ve seen (4).

Who’s (1)?

Also, happy independence day Indian readers :-)

Question from shenoyvarun86. Thanks a lot sire!

1 did an experiment based on 2’s (in circle) and 3’s Hypothesis. The experiment in question was done not just by 1(who is shown with the apparatus) but with collaboration of 4(also shown with the apparatus) and hence the experiment is called “1-4” experiment. Identify the experiment and its implication. Id the people for extra cookiesa.
