Fly in Hooke's 'Micrographia'. 17th-century illustration of the appearance of a 'blue fly' viewed with a microscope by English natural philosopher Robert Hooke (1635-1703). The fly is at left, with one of its wings opened up and drawn at right. Hooke pioneered the new science of microscopy and published detailed drawings of observations made with his microscopes. This illustration appeared in his 'Micrographia' (1665). Hooke was one of the founding fellows (1663) of the Royal Society, and served as its Curator of Experiments and as its Secretary. | |
