notes: label: Description
content: Robert Hooke (1635-1703) was an amazingly prolific experimental scientist who became Curator of Experiments at the new Royal Society of London in 1662. In the Micrographia, published in 1665, he presented a host of curious details of fleas and mites and other creatures that he had observed with a compound microscope from the shop of Christopher Cock, an optical instrument maker in London. This is a modern replica of that instrument.
