Portrait of Joseph Jackson Lister, English optician
Portrait of Joseph Jackson Lister, English optician, born on 11th January 1786 and died on 24th October 1869. J.J. Lister developed an achromatic lens for the microscope in 1830, which inaugurated the era of modern microscopy. With this lens the image viewed under the microscope was no longer blurred by coloured " ghosts". As a result of this new clarity, Lister was the first to recognize the biconcave nature of red blood cells. J.J. Lister was the father of Lord Lister, who was famous for the introduction of antiseptic techniques into surgery

Born on January 11th, 1786, and departing this world on October 24th, 1869, Lister's legacy continues to inspire scientists and researchers to this day. Lister's most notable contribution was his development of the achromatic lens for microscopes in 1830. This remarkable invention marked a turning point in microscopy history by eliminating the blurring effect caused by colored "ghosts" that had plagued earlier lenses. With newfound clarity, Lister became the first person to discern the biconcave nature of red blood cells under a microscope. Notably, Joseph Jackson Lister is also recognized as being Lord Lister's father. Lord Lister gained fame for introducing antiseptic techniques into surgery—an innovation that saved countless lives and transformed medical practices forever. This mesmerizing portrait captures not only Joseph Jackson Lister's distinguished countenance but also his profound impact on scientific progress. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of his invaluable contributions to our understanding of microscopic worlds and how they have shaped modern science.
