Actually, I had one as a child, it was a small toy microscope that you had to put in the sunlight to be able to magnify anything. I remember looking at small threads of cotton and the fibres within paper. Under the microscope everything is inverted and this was fascinating for me. I think this was the start of my passion, but it was still only a toy. When I discovered real, larger microscopes, ones that imaged in micrometres and nanometres and visualized 3D tissue in all dimensions, I think that is when I decided that this is what I want to do. How did you turn your passion for microscopy into a career?. I was studying biology when I discovered real microscopes.
