Description	Micrographia is the illustrated account of Robert Hooke's exploration of the minute through the magnification of his compound microscope. Here with his own skillfully drafted plates are Hooke's vivid descriptions of such diverse objects as seeds, hair, lice, the sparks coming from flint struck against steel, as well as, with his lens turned outward, the stars and the surface of the Moon. Micrographia inspired ensuing scientific inquiry, including discordant responses to Hooke's controversial hypotheses.
