Microscope Ornament
by Old World Christmas

An Old World Christmas glass ornament. Microscopes, from the Greek words for "small" and "to see", is a device that lets you view things that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Often credited to being invented by Zacharius Jansen in the 1590s, glass lenses that aid in viewing small or distant objects have been around for thousands of years. This glass microscope ornament has a stylish red color and makes a great gift for a science enthusiast or medical practitioner.
