These two- and three-lens microscopes were designed and used by Robert Hooke and made by Christopher Cock, London, shortly before 1665. It was the one he used for the observations in his landmark best-seller Micrographia.The main tube of the replica microscope on the right, from Hooke's design, is 7 inches long and 4 inches in diameter, made of leather-covered cardboard. The brass rod that it slid up and down on is 15 inches high.
