nonist's beautiful specimens

On previous posts, here and here, I have included photographs of vintage microscopic slides, but none have been as exquisite as the range that the nonist carefully collated on his blog, as sourced from a number of fantastic sites listed at the end of his post. I know that microscopic slides are not strictly related to pneumatic tubes, but perhaps there is some link between microscopic samples, pathology, Victorian science and medicine, handcrafted details or ...?
