Framed Print of Kirchers disc viewer, 17th century
Kirchers disc viewer. 17th-century artwork of the parastatic microscope constructed by German Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher (circa 1601-1680) for his museum in Rome. The scenes at right (from the Passion of Christ) were viewed through a lens and the glass disc rotated, similar to how a slide viewer operates. Artwork from the 1671 edition of Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae (The Great Art of Light and Darkness) by the German Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher (circa 1601-1680). First published in 1646, it was mostly about optics and magic lanterns.
