Andrew Pritchard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Andrew Pritchard
Andrew Pritchard (1804 –1882) was an English naturalist and natural history dealer who made significant improvements to microscopy and studied microscopic organisms. His belief that God and nature were one led him to the Unitarians, a religious movement to which he and his family devoted much energy. He became a leading member of Newington Green Unitarian Church in north London, and worked to build a school there. ==Apprenticeship== Pritchard was apprenticed to his cousin Cornelius Varley, an artist deeply interested in science. For his improvements in the ''camera lucida'', the ''camera obscura'' and the microscope, he received the Isis Gold Medal of the Society of Arts and later, at the Great Exhibition, he gained a medal for his invention of the graphic telescope. Cornelius's brother was the painter John Varley, but Pritchard would have seen more of Cornelius's son Cromwell Fleetwood Varley, an engineer who pioneered the transatlantic telegraph cable.
