Pepys buys microscope, Power's Experimental Philosophy, and Hooke's Micrographia; records many conversations on it during 1664-6 (169-170)

Abraham Cowley, "To the Royal Society" [[1]]

Natures great Workes no distance can obscure,

No smalness her near Objects can secure

Y'have taught the curious Sight to press

Into the privatest recess

Of her imperceptible Littleness.

Y'have learn'd to Read her smallest Hand,

And well begun her deepest Sense to Understand.
