KUHNE, WILLY (1837-1900)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 942 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUHNE, WILLY (1837-1900) , German physiologist, was born at Hamburg on the 28th of
March
  1837. After attending the gymnasium at Luneburg, he went to Gottingen, where his master in chemistry was F.
Wohler
  and in
physiology
  R. Wagner. Having graduated in 1856, he studied under various famous physiologists, including E. Du Bois-Reymond at Berlin, Claude
Bernard
  in Paris, and K. F. W. Ludwig and E. W. Brucke in Vienna. At the end of 1863 he was put in charge of the chemical department of the pathological laboratory at Berlin, under R. von Virchow; in 1868 he was appointed professor of
physiology
  at
Amsterdam
 ; and in 1871 he was chosen to succeed H. von Helmholtz in the same capacity at
Heidelberg
 , where he died on the loth of June 1900. His
original
 
work
  falls into two main groups ,the physiology of muscle and nerve, which occupied the earlier years of his life, and the chemistry of digestion, which he began to investigate while at Berlin with Virchow. He was also known for his researches on vision and the chemical changes occurring in the retina under the influence of light. The visual purple, described by Franz Boll in 1876, he attempted to make the basis of a photochemical theory of vision, but though he was able to establish its importance in connexion with vision in light of low intensity, its absence from the retinal area of most distinct vision detracted from the completeness of the theory and precluded its general acceptance.
