    Co-Authors: Wolfgang Piersig
    Abstract:

After presenting the first visual observations of metal surfaces and fractures, the text discusses the early optical instruments, like reading stones, magnifiers, magnifying glasses, and simple microscopes that were used to perform the examinations up to and including the macroscopic and microscopic detection, identification, recording, and photography of the true microstructures of metals. Subsequently, information is presented about Sorby’s life, in particular his life‘s work in the pursuit of science, and especially, his credo: „The aim must always be to investigate the origins of things“ [18, 43]. Furthermore, the most significant publications of Henry Clifton Sorby and the important conference lectures he gave at academic institutions and societies are also included, along with the many Honors and Awards he received.
