In focus: science-info.org is a well known website administered by Gordon Couger which hosts hard to source literature on a wide range of older microscopes and their accessories. Gordon also successfully undertakes the thankless task of maintaining a wide range of microscope links to websites on themes of interest to the microscopy enthusiast and also a valuable buyer's guide.
