Glass, Bentley, 1994, [editor emeritus], Review of Leeuwenhoek Legacy, Quarterly Review of Biology, 69: 80-83, March. "Noteworthy contribution ... careful, thorough. Fully deserves to stand by Dobell's work. Ford has demonstrated [the reasons for] Bracegirdle's inability to detect red blood cells."

Cooke, P. M., 1994, Chemical Microscopy, Analytical Chemistry, 66 (12): R558-594, "Ford recreated [Robert Brown's] observations on Clarkia pollen with modern videomicrographs using Brown's original microscope. He proved, once again, that what is now simply called Brownian Movement was "unmistakably discernible to Brown ... " [cites BJF in Microscope, 40 (4): 235-241 (1992)].
