EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1750 showcases a collection of microscopes and microscopical objects, providing a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration during that era. The first image features Wilson's pocket microscope, a compact instrument that allowed researchers to delve into the intricate details of microscopic specimens. Moving on, we encounter the scroll microscope, followed by the tripod microscope - an improved version of Marshall's double microscope. Lastly, we are introduced to Ascough's compound microscope. Figures 23/30 within this print depict remarkable representations of animalcules discovered through meticulous examination of ditch water samples using these advanced microscopes. These fascinating findings were described in detail within Royal Society Philosophical Transactions No 283, highlighting the significance and impact they had on scientific knowledge at that time. Published in The Universal Magazine in London in 1750, this image serves as a testament to the advancements made in optics and microscopy during this period. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the ingenuity behind these instruments and their role in uncovering hidden worlds beyond our naked eye
