The History of Microscopes
from Math! Science! History! · host Gabrielle Birchak
On April 13, 1625, Galileo's friend Giovanni Faber, wrote a letter to Prince Federico Angelo Cesi about this fascinating tool that could magnify small items. He referred to it as the "microscope" that is derived from the Greek words micron, which means small, and skopein, which means to look at. The details are all in the podcast!
