Plate 11 from

Amusement microscopique, tant pour l'esprit que pour

les yeux, contenant... estampes... d'apres nature...

by Martin

Frobene Ledermuller, plates volume (Adam Wolfgang Winterschmidt,

Nuremburg, 1764).

Inscribed above: ‘TAB.XI.’

The accompanying text is headed: ‘Table XI. Ens veneris.’ The

author comments that: ‘Et c'est aussi la même Couleur que

conservent les Cristaux sous le Microscope, de forte que dans un

Jour bienclair, ils ressemblent à l'Or ou aux plus belles Topazes &

Crysolites’. […the crystals under the microscope…look like gold or

the most beautiful topaz & crysolites].

Martin Frobene [Frobenius] Ledermuller (1719-1769) German

naturalist was employed in various capacities as a notary, turning to

microscope studies after an illness induced temporary deafness.
