This article draws attention to literary works which have been influenced by microscopy, or in which microscopy has played a significant role. The work of writers including Jonathan Swift, Voltaire, George Eliot, H. G. Wells and D. H. Lawrence is discussed. In many cases these authors had direct experience of operating microscopes and viewing the wonders of the microscopic world. However, with the increasing separation of the two cultures, recent examples of microscopy in literature are rare.

显微镜和文献

本文提请注意受显微镜影响或显微镜发挥重要作用的文学作品。讨论了乔纳森·斯威夫特、伏尔泰、乔治·艾略特、HG 威尔斯和 DH 劳伦斯等作家的作品。在许多情况下，这些作者都有操作显微镜和观察微观世界奇观的直接经验。然而，随着两种文化的日益分离，文献中最近的显微镜例子很少见。
