Hans Molisch

Hans Molisch (December 6, 1856, Brno - December 8, 1937, Wien) was a Czech-Austrian botanist.

He taught as a professor at the German University of Prague (1894-), Vienna University (1909-1928), Tohoku Imperial University (now Tohoku University, Japan; 1922-1925), and a university in India.

From 1931 to 1937, he acted as the vice-president of der Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Hans Molish expanded on Julius von Sachs´ work by developing ´starch pictures´ in intact leaves by using actual photographic negatives as masks over the illuminate leaves.
