Abstract
THE late Mr. Ralph Kanthack, who died in his seventy-seventh year at Golders Green, London, on November 12, was chiefly known for his great ability in scientific translations in English and German. He was educated in Hamburg and Liineberg, Germany, taking an honours degree in engineering. After some period as a marine engineer, he found himself more attracted to scientific and optical studies, and became associated with Messrs. Carl Zeiss, when he had the advantage of intimate association with Abbe, Czapski and others. This led to his establishment as a London agent for Messrs. Carl Zeiss and Messrs. E. Leitz; but in addition to business activities he was known as an authority on various aspects of microscopy.
