A Silver Microscope made for a King

A beautiful microscope made in the 1700s by the master mathematical instrument maker George Adams. It is made from a combination of brass, ebony, glass, tin, steel and (most prominently) silver!

The microscope is thought to have been made for the Prince of Wales, later George IV; it was presented to the Science Museum in 1949 by George VI. A similar example held by the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford is supposed to have been made for George III

George Adams was appointed mathematical instrument maker to the Prince of Wales (later George III) around 1756 and his family firm was one of the most prominent of those at work in London during the 1700s.
