We should make a musical. Anybody got any talent? Imagine a big Broadway number that explains Kohler illumination. John.

The closest thing to a microscopy documentary I can recall is the Saturday Night Live segment of "Leonard Pinth-Garnell's Bad Musicals" which featured a musical based on the life of Leewenhoek. This sketch originally aired on December 10, 1977. A synopsis can be found here:

The musical, as I recall, was proclaimed by Pinth-Garnell to be "simply terrible."
