This microscope, which belonged to John Northrop, was made by the distinguished microscope maker Joseph Zentmayer in Philadelphia. This model was patented in 1876. Northrop was born in 1891 and was likely given the microscopes when he was young. Perhaps he inherited it from his father, a zoologist who died tragically in an explosion two weeks before his son’s birth. John Northrop dedicated his entire life to chemistry, making ground-breaking discoveries on proteins.
The microscopes were donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by the Northrop family in 2009. - Pristagare
