Since 1829 he was an intern at the Imperial Court Natural History Cabinet , first he worked in the department of mineralogy under the direction of Friedrich Mohs , then under Johann Gottfried Bremser in the helminthology department of the zoological cabinet. In May 1835 he became curator of the Department of Mineralogy, in July 1836 he was then curator of the Department of Zoology. In 1848 his eyesight deteriorated due to retinitis until he was completely blind in 1849. Thanks to his excellent memory, he continued to publish scientific papers with the help of his assistant August von Pelzeln . In 1852 he was retired. He died of lung disease on January 10, 1867.

Since 1835 he was a member of the Leopoldina , since 1848 he was a full member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in Vienna . He was also an honorary member of the Imperial and Royal Society of Doctors in Vienna .

Scientific achievements

In the years 1850 and 1851 he published two volumes of the monograph Systema Helminthum in which he 175 species of nematodes described . In botany, he was the first to describe algae .

The genus Diesingiella Guiart 1931 and the species Lingutula diesingii are named after him in his honor.
