This is really cool. Reminds me of the Museo Galileo, in Florence, where they a section dedicated to microscopes.

If you are interested in this sort of stuff and you are visiting Oxford, I recommend the History of Science Museum. It contains a fantastic collection of scientific instruments including microscopes.

Is there a related museum/gallery of microscopic pictures of things?


How about antique electron microscopes? Does 50 yrs old count as antique? They're kinda pretty.


It even has the Lumex toy microscope I had as a child in the 70s. Happy days!


This is cool, but feel like a microscope museum should be small enough to fit on a single pane of glass that you can zoom in on.


A Microscoped Microscope Museum?
