内容説明
This book discusses the role of industry in the construction of fundamental scientific knowledge. Industrial models of division of labor and industrially-produced instruments and reagents are now central to experimental practices, but they are often perceived as self-evident and this remain invisible. The book examines the effect of the longstanding association between industry and fundamental scientific research through an analysis of case studies taken from the history of physics, chemistry and biomedical sciences in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These case-studies highlight the role of industrial methods in the production of standardized instruments and reagents which made possible the stabilization and the diffusion of locally-produced knowledge, and its influence as a provider of new organizational patterns and new division of labor within science.

内容説明
Industrial methods, and industrially produced instruments, reagents and living organisms are central to research activities today. They play a key role in the homogenization and the diffusion of laboratory practices, thus in their transformation into a stable and unproblematic knowledge about the natural world. This book displays the - frequently invisible - role of industry in the construction of fundamental scientific knowledge through the examination of case studies taken from the history of nineteenth and the twentieth century physics, chemistry and biomedical sciences.
