There must have been considerable interest in such things at the time for these businesses to thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voldy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The dictionary defines 'Microscopy; the study, design and manufacture of microscopes also investigation by use of a microscope'. The advertiser S C Sharp would appear to be a Microscopist's Technician as his field seems to be a supplier of 'accessories'. There is a GCSE in Microscopy,a Royal Society, the Journal of Microscopy celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2016, whilst the 2017 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was won by two Microscopy authors (Franks and Henderson) for their research. Still plenty going on around the world in this field which I, for one, wasn't aware of ! Thanks for posting it boginspro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
