Microscope was owned by Dr. Helen Morton, OC. Helen grew up in Liverpool, came to Canada as a war guest in her teens, returned to Liverpool to complete her BSc,. She returned to Canada in 1947 and went to work at Connaught Labs in Toronto, where she worked on the project that developed the medium that Dr Salk used to create his famous vaccine. She wrote and published several tracts on the topic of tissue culture. She earned an MSc at UofT. She then came to Ottawa, and worked at NRC while continuing to work with Dr. Joseph Morgan. She then, as a single mother, returned to university, this time Ottawa U, to complete her PhD. Unfortunately, soon after that accomplishment, she developed macular degeneration, and had to give up her microscope (and a lot else). By now legally blind, she went on to work for Treasury Board on various topics involving the disabled community, and went on to be named an Officer of the Order of Canada for this work.
