The Academy of the Lynx (Accademia dei Lincei) dissolved after the death of its founder, Prince Federigo Cesi. In its place, Grand Duke Ferdinand II established the Academy of Experiment in Florence, which carried further the research program of Galileo. Devoted to collaborative observation and experimentation, the 10 members decided to publish their work not individually but as an Academy. Members included Vincenzo Viviani, Giovanni Borelli, Francesco Redi, Niels Stensen (Steno), Lorenzo Magalotti, and Duke Leopold de Medici, who ensured that they were equipped with the instruments and apparatus needed for their investigations.
