In Our Time podcast was fun and entertaining. The Microscope. from 28 November 2013.

Includes Robert Hooke (the guy who anti-inspired Isaac Newton to say "standing on the shoulders of giants").

The first electron microscope was working in 1933. (earlier than i imagined)

Important discovery by Irene Manton, the first female Professor at Leeds University. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irene_Manton

And how using microscopes have had such an impact on our our lives nowadays.

Have a listen. Lots of laughing. I think they all enjoyed it.

It is always damp and drab but it is noticeable that the sunset happens later. I like that.
