Edmund Culpeper supplied his microscopes in distinctive, pyramid-shaped carry cases. Culpeper (active 1684-1737) was a mathematical instrument maker, whose workshop the 'Old Mathematical Shop' was located at Moorfields in London. He was apprenticed to Walter Hayes in 1684, became a Freeman of the Grocers' Company in 1713 and took over Hayes' business at Moorfields.
