In August 2023 we were looking back at the great Dutch pioneer of microscopy, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, who died 300 years ago. When news was released of my discovering Leeuwenhoek’s original specimens, it did not take long for someone to realise that they had one of his microscopes at home. Later, two more appeared, within the space of a few months. Then, in December 2023, a fourth emerged. This one was a silver microscope found during a house clearance in East Anglia...
