I've recently started scanning the huge collection of glass negatives from
the Delft School Archives and have been amazed at the quality of late 19th
century pictures of microorganisms. I'm accustomed to the beautiful quality
of portraits and landscapes from the period, but to find bacteria, yeasts
and protozoa in such detail was a bit of a surprise.
Can anyone suggest a decent book or other source about the history of
photography through the microscope?
