A fact from E. Newton Harvey appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 December 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that zoologist E. Newton Harvey had a firefly, a bioluminescent bacterium, and a centipede named after him?
Wikipedia's Alfred Lee Loomis article states that "working with Edmund Newton Harvey, he co-invented the microscope centrifuge." A microscope or a centrifuge? A more competent editor than I might bring these statements into some accord.-Wetman (talk) 03:51, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
According to this source, "The centrifuge microscope (CM) is composed of a centrifuge and a microscope optical system designed to observe minute objects, especially living cells, during the application of centrifugal acceleration." Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
