The microscope lenses and objectives in this collection were created by multiple companies, including James W. Queen and Company in Philadelphia, Bausch and Lomb Optical Company in Rochester, and R. and J. Beck in London between 1853 and 1940. They were separated from Dr. Roderick Heffron's papers [HMS c514] by the Harvard Medical Library and transferred to the Warren Anatomical Museum in March 2016.
