Abstract
Imaging is strongly coupled to microscopes. The first microscopes with a double lens system were built about 400 years ago by three Dutchmen, Cornelius Drebbel, Hans and Zacharias Jansen. Another Dutchman, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, became famous somewhat later in the seventeenth century as the first experimental microscopist. He explored microorganisms with a simple microscope. Among his preserved specimens at the Royal Society in London are green algae and cotton seeds, to name a few topics related to photosynthesis (see: http://www.brianjford.com/wavintr.htm).
