About This Event

Spotlight: Microscope is a workshop set for 24 February 2027 at the Physicians' Gallery in Edinburgh. Participants will explore the history of the microscope in relation to infectious diseases. Attendance is free of charge.

Join us to explore the history of the microscope in relation to infectious diseases

Join us at the Physicians’ Gallery on the last Wednesday of every month at 12.30pm for a curator-led talk exploring some of the objects on display in our gallery.

Our topic for this talk is the microscope. From the belief in spontaneous generation, to the invention of the microscopic lens and the discovery of germ theory, we’ll be exploring how the microscope revolutionised the study of infectious diseases.

This 20 minute talk is free, but booking is required. The meeting point is in the Gallery.

Find out more about our Gallery on our website (https://www.rcpe.ac.uk/heritage/physiciansgallery).
