SIMPLE MICROSCOPE, 1680, PARIS Manufactured by Depovilly from the famous design of 'father of microbiology': Antonij Van Leeuwenhoek. During his lifetime this gauchely over-achieving Dutchman ground 500 optical lenses, designed 400 types of microscope, discovered infusoria, bacteria, spermatazoa, single-celled organisms, was accepted into the English Royal Society, ran a drapery store, and presumably saved children and animals from drowning on a regular basis. Rumours that he was in possession of a remarkably small member are unsubstantiated.
