Slightly tangential to the discussion: there is apparently an app for
the IPhone that turns it into a camera lucida:
I never stop marvelling over what one can use one's smartphone for.
Reminds me of David Hockney's idea that Renaissance artists used the
camera lucida.

It would be hard to conceive of a more beautiful explanation of how
a miscroscope lucida was used. It is immensely confidence-building
moreover.
Bravo!

Subject: [rete] Camera lucida on microscope
Dear Retians,
in 2008 the Scientific& Technologic Archives, University of Torino,
realized an exhibition about the history of the microscope and some short
video were shot to explain how some instruments work.
One of those was a microscope with Abbe's camera lucida and you can see it
here:
In the exhibition there were also a Nachet and an Oberhauser camera
lucidas.
As a biologist I used some modern models on stereomicroscopes such as Wild
and Zeiss.
On youtube yuo can see several videos we made for the exhibitions about the
history of science that are our main activity, just look for "ASTUT UNITO".
