The discovery of an old Microscope
In the back of a cupboard of our group, (Optics Cluster at the Imaging Physics department of Applied Sciences), a box full of interesting objects had been hiding for almost thirty years. Nestled amongst prisms and scopes, was a mysterious microscope. Most of the objects dated from the mid-20th century, but this microscope looked older – much older! What happened and how did it end up in a closet at AS? The Team Maatwerk from TU Delft went to investigate.
