Ant in Hooke's 'Micrographia'. 17th-century illustration of the appearance of an ant viewed with a microscope by English natural philosopher Robert Hooke (1635-1703). This ant specimen was obtained from a garden. 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. | |
