'Simon: Gillian Reynolds - where would you go underground for a seventeenth century slideshow? Answer: To the vaults of the Royal Society where biologist Brian Ford revealed that slides prepared by Antony Leeuwenhoek - a Dutch 17th century pioneer of the microscope - shows that his techniques were almost as advanced as today's. The collection of slides includes examples of cell structure, views of Bournemouth and fragments of a British Rail Edam sandwich.'
