Hi Alby, nice find. By coincidence I came across this,

Hooke opened up the world of the unseen 350 years ago
Some things can never be unseen. The microscopic mandibles of a fruit
fly, for one. The leggy limbs of a hairy flea, for another. Three
hundred and fifty years ago, scientist and amateur artist Robert Hooke's
exquisite illustrations of tiny things showed people for the first time
what the parasites that plagued them looked like. In his 1665
book/Micrographia/­---the first major work of illustrated observations
made through a microscope---Hooke chronicled dozens of parasites,
plants, and other microscopic wonders. The Royal Society will celebrate
the book's anniversary
<https://royalsociety.org/events/2015/10/big-draw/> this Saturday with a
microscopy drawing event and an exhibition in London. Robert Hooke was
one of history's most important scientists, coining the word "cell" and
making profound contributions to timekeeping, astronomy, physics, and
microscopy. He also argued, controversially in /Micrographia/, that
fossils were the mineralized remains of ancient living organisms. We've
learned a lot in the intervening centuries, but Hooke's illustrations
still inspire us to look closer.

The Royal Society, London, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG


We are opening our doors on 17 October for a day of art and science, as
part of The Big Draw <http://www.thebigdraw.org/> festival.

This year's Royal Society Big Draw event will celebrate the 350th
anniversary of Micrographia, Robert Hooke's seminal text of microscopic
observations. This free, family-friendly day will feature talks,
workshops and activities on the theme of microscopy.


      Activities on the day

    * Try your hand at microscopy at one of our drop in workshops run by
      The Gurdon Institute <http://www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/>, University of
      Cambridge.
    * Get creative in our children's area, complete with hands on
      activities and drawing materials.
    * Take a crash course in illustration with our resident illustrator
      for the day, Mell Fisher.
    * Learn about historic engraving techniques in a live demonstration
      with expert copperplate engraver Ad Stijnman.
    * Explore centuries-old scientific illustrations in the Royal
      Society's /Micrographia/ exhibition - Seeing closer: 350 years of
      microscopy <https://royalsociety.org/events/2015/07/seeing-closer>.
    * Draw a DNA molecule and see a Next Generation DNA sequencing
      machine provided by Illumina <http://www.illumina.com/>.
    * Attend one of our free talks: A new visible world: Robert Hooke's
      /Micrographia/
      <https://royalsociety.org/events/2015/10/a-new-visible-world>/,
      /Watching molecules: Microscopy in the 21st century
      <https://royalsociety.org/events/2015/10/watching-molecules> and
      Seeing closer: Looking inside bacteria
      <https://royalsociety.org/events/2015/10/seeing-closer>.
    * Make your own smartphone microscope.
    * Screen-print a personalised tote bag to take home.


      Online competition

If you can't attend in person, you can still get your hands on a special
Royal Society 'zoom box' and make your own microscope.

Simply draw a microscopic object and share the picture with us on Twitter.
