Re: [Histonet] Friday histology trivia
The Ki in Ki-67 is from the city of origin (Kiel, Germany), and is really pronounced KEY-67 (not K. I. 67). The 67 in Ki-67 is from the original clone in a 96-well plate.

You are so right. Microscopes equal credibility. Maybe because we can actually see an image of the specimen rather than a squiggly line... or maybe because people actually sit at microscopes rather than at an impersonal control panel.

Any one who has seen the CBS evening news with Scott Pelley lately (at least in my area) will have seen an ad for a product named "Salonpas". In the background is a microscope. It is interesting that when you see a microscope in an ad on TV, it implies that real, dedicated research has been performed in bringing the product to market. In this case, the microscope looks like a 30 year old plus American Optical microscope. I don't think AO are in busincess any more. Maybe Leica took them over. Looks good though! I have never seen a microtome in an ad on TV, but plenty of microscopes!
