{"id":560,"count":1,"description":"Edmund Culpeper (c. 1670-1738)<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEdmund Culpeper was the son of a clergyman, Edward Culpeper of Gunville, Dorset. In 1684, he was apprenticed to Walter Hayes, an instrument maker whose business was located at the \u201cSign of the Crossed Daggers\u201d in Moorfield, London. When Hayes died in 1685, Culpeper took the business over and continued using the same trademark for his business cards and advertisements. By 1725, he had moved to the \u201cBlack White House, Middle Moorfield\u201d with another establishment \u201cunder the Piazza of the Royal Exchange\u201d. As was normal at that time, he sold a wide range of products ranging from theodolites, sundials and mathematical instruments to simple and compound microscopes, many of which he bought from the original makers. Among his early products was a version of the popular screw-barrel Hartsoeker-Wilson single-lensed microscope for which he also designed and sold a stand. The microscope that now carries his name appeared around 1725. It was focused by pulling the tube up and down and had a tripod stand with a mirror underneath. This microscope was popular and was copied nationally and internationally.
