  2. Walther Flemming was a German anatomist and a founder of the science of cytogenetics (the study of the cell’s hereditary material, the chromosomes). He was the first to observe and describe systematically the behaviour of chromosomes in the cell nucleus during normal cell division (mitosis).

  4. Flemming was the first to detail the chromosomal movements in the process of mitosis. In 1879, Flemming used aniline dyes, a by-product of coal tar, to stain cells of salamander embryos. He was able to visualize the threadlike material as the cells divide.

  7. By making use of the newly synthesized aniline dyes Flemming was able to discern the threadlike structures in the cell nucleus, which Heinrich Waldeyer was later to term chromosomes.

  8. German anatomist (1843-1905) who first observed and identified the stages of mitosis. Using new synthetic dyes, Flemming found material, which he named chromatin, within the cell nucleus. Observing the chromatin at different phases, he traced the process of cell division, calling it mitosis.
