Royal Society of London for Improving
Natural Knowledge
What is it?
Is a scientific society founded in the United
Kingdom for the promotion of Physico-
Mathematical Knowledge Experiental
History

 Since 1645 took place in London weekly

meetings of philosophers and natural
scientists from other fields of knowledge
 Founded in 1660 under the reign of Charles
II and the first reunion was on September 28
of that year
What works?

 At the beginning is established to meet once a week

(Wednesday), an entrance fee of 10 shillings and a
shilling for a weekly fee to cover the experiments
 Also the experiments were of great importance and
consumed much of the time that the meetings lasted
 Every five years was appointed a member president
of the society while officially appointing William
Brouncker, the first was John Wilkins
Famous members

 Robert Boyle
 Sir Isaac Newton
 Robert Hooke
 Thomas Willis
 John Wallis
 Home Riggs Popham
Actually the Royal Society

 While continuing to develop the role of Academy of

Sciences of the United Kingdom and
Commontwealth
 Are funded each year over 1000 young students to
scientific research as robotics, medicine and other
 Annually recognizes the most outstanding national
and international scientists for their achievements
with their medals characteristics of each area

Contributions from Britain to the
technology
Replica of a Hooke Microscope on show
at the Science Museum - London.

The illustration from which it was made is

behind the microscope. Micrographia,
Hooke's first published work contained
details of an improved microscope which
influenced microscope makers both then
and years later.
Replica of a newtons telescope

A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is an

optical telescope which uses a single or
combination of curved mirrors that reflect light
and form an image. The reflecting telescope was
invented in the 17th century as an alternative to
the refracting telescope which, at that time, was a
design that suffered from severe chromatic

aberration.
 Marconi-E.M.I

A Scottish electrical engineer, Alan Campbell-

Swinton, hearing of Bidwell’s experiments and
knowing that Ferdinanad Braun, of Austria, had
invented the Cathode ray Oscilloscope (rather
like a modern television tube, but designed for
showing electrical waves), put the two ideas
together.
He realised that an electronic switch was needed
to switch on the photoelectric cells in turn, and
that the oscilloscope tube could be used to

receive pictures.
