"An antique microscope is a work of art as well as science."

I like it.

I got to know my microscope very well in my year-long 4-hours/day x 4 days/week Pathology course during my second year of medical school.

I loved Path and gave serious thought to specializing in it: figuring out precisely the nature of the unknown cells under my lens under time pressure was extremely challenging and fun.
