Mr Whipple really loved optics, instruments which use light to help scientists to see things. That means that the Whipple museum is packed with microscopes, telescopes and even spectacles and opera glasses! Come and explore some of our handling instruments, find out how to bend and reflect light and create your own spectacular spectacles.
