This relatively simple microscope was used by the legendary Dr. William \u201cBill\u201d Collins (1929-2013) during his over 50-year career at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, preceded by stints in the U.S. Army and at NIH. Trained as an entomologist, Dr. Collins devoted himself to studying malaria parasites. In fact, the scientific community recognized Collins\u2019 intensive work in this field by naming a subspecies for him, Plasmodium vivax collinsi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

More than a piece of laboratory equipment, this microscope is emblematic of the dedication of CDC scientists to making a difference in preventing and controlling diseases.<\/p>\n
