Popis: This paper is a tribute to a great scientist and an authentic “honest man” that was Jean Lavorel (1928–2021). He was a pioneer in research on the primary events of photosynthesis in algae, plants, and photosynthetic bacteria. He focused his attention on chlorophyll fluorescence and luminescence, and also on oxygen evolution, both experimentally (with laboratory-built refined apparatus) and theoretically. Many of his results are classical now. Besides a survey of his main achievements, most of them obtained by him alone, different reminiscences on the researcher and the person he was illustrate the rich personality of Jean Lavorel.
