Robert Bunsen's 200th Birthday

Today Google is celebrating Robert Bunsen's 200th birthday with doodle.


Robert Bunsen - born in Göttingen, Germany - is best known for his improvement of the gas flame device which bears his name: the Bunsen burner. But Bunsen's contributions to science extend far beyond this one invention; he developed a number of other common laboratory instruments, as well as a new device and process for analyzing the elemental constituents of chemicals called spectroscopy.
