The existence of the nucleus, including the nucleoplasm, was first documented as early as 1682 by the Dutch microscopist [[Leeuwenhoek]] and was later described and drawn by [[Franz Bauer]].<ref name="Harris">{{cite book | vauthors = Harris H | title =The Birth of the Cell | year =1999 | publisher =Yale University Press | location =New Haven | isbn =978-0-300-07384-3 | url-access =registration | url =https://archive.org/details/birthofcell0000harr }}</ref> However, the cell nucleus was not named and described in detail until [[Robert Brown (Scottish botanist from Montrose)|Robert Brown's]] presentation to the [[Linnean Society]] in 1831.<ref name="Robert Brown">{{cite journal | last =Brown | first = Robert | name-list-style = vanc | title = On the Organs and Mode of Fecundation of Orchidex and Asclepiadea | journal = Miscellaneous Botanical Works I | pages = 511–514 | year = 1866}}</ref> 
The nucleoplasm, while described by Bauer and Brown, was not specifically isolated as a separate entity until its naming in 1882 by [[Poland|Polish]]-[[Germany|German]] scientist [[Eduard Strasburger]], one of the most famous [[botanist]]s of the 19th century, and the first person to discover [[mitosis]] in plants.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://universalium.en-academic.com/289156/Strasburger%2C_Eduard_Adolf |title=Strasburger, Eduard Adolf |date=2010 |website=Universalium |access-date=October 31, 2022}}</ref>
