In 1930 he developed the technique of cell fractionation, by which he discovered the agent of the Rous sarcoma, components of cell organelles such as mitochondrion,chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosome and lysosome. He was the first to employ electron microscope in the field of biology. In 1945 he published the first detailed structure of cell.
