Abstract

In the 19th century Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz belonged to the most acclaimed German scientists. His interest in physics was so extensive since his youth that it persisted even during his medical studies, which his father forced him to complete. It is the combination of knowledge from physics and physiological competence that that made his research famous already during his lifetime, followed by a detailed function analysis of the most important sense organs – eye and ear.
