EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing of a simple single lens microscope, also known as a flea glass. The illustration is derived from Kirckers Ars Magnis Lucis et Umbrae, an influential publication released in 1646. The image depicts the intricate structure of this early form of microscopy, revealing its essential components and functionality. The tube labeled AB represents the main body of the microscope, housing a lens fixed at end B. This lens acts as the primary tool for magnification and observation. At end A, we can observe that the tube is sealed by a flat glass plate. Intriguingly, this particular specimen (labeled C) captures our attention with its mysterious nature. It leaves us wondering about the countless microscopic wonders that were explored using such rudimentary techniques centuries ago. To shed light on these hidden worlds, there is D - the light source depicted in this drawing. It serves to illuminate specimens under examination and enhance their visibility through the single lens microscope. Overall, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into early scientific endeavors and technological advancements in microscopy. As we admire this fascinating piece of scientific history captured by Science Photo Library's impeccable expertise, we are reminded of how far we have come in understanding our world through microscopes and other advanced instruments developed over time.
