Deus creavit, Linnaeus disposuit!

What an incredible night, bringing all these brilliant minds together. I can't wait to talk to them all!

L: Micrographia was an incredible achievement - looking at all your extraordinary observations of the smallest of things was simply awe-inspiring. Who knew a fly had so many eyes and patterned so elegantly?

H: Thank you - though your series of letters to the Royal Society was nothing short of remarkable.

L: And you did it all with that microscope?

H: Not this exact one, but similar. I much preferred my own compound microscopes to your simple microscopes - you may have had clearer images, but they strained and weakened my sight.

Later in life recognition?

S: Look! I'm telling you... it's the same principle... except it's used to make proteins. A book, which has the recipe for a human being!

G: Rezept?

M: Look if you don't believe us... ask Dr. Watson.

W: Did you know this was a BYOM (bring your own microscope) event?

C: Nope, but if we had known...

W: Yeah, we could have shown them what a 'real' microscope looked like

H: I love that coat

M: I was inspired by both your early discoveries and always taught my students to 'think microscopically'
Schwann: If it wasn't for Schleiden's initial observations in plants, who knows how much longer it would have taken me to make the connection in animals?

Schleiden: I just knew that if the nucleus was the most important part of the cell in plants, it was likely to be important in animals too.

Schwann: Though we weren't entirely right, we also thought cells formed spontaneously, but I guess two out of three theories wasn't bad!

J: I'll give you 5 coins for that microscope

V: I don't even know what it's worth - that guy down there the pink robe gave it to me

J: Okay, what if I sweetened the deal - my whole coin pouch?
