I'm not sure if you will be able to find any patent information going back to 1748.  You might try your local county library and see what resources they have.

Go to ThinkGeek.com. You should find something there, that he doesn't own. It's a great site with a bunch of gadgets for dorks. Good luck!

Never heard of it, but that sounds interesting...\n\n\nYou probably can do a search of it on the patent office website.

You might try searching the various online patent resources.  I tried two different websites using the keywords "interference contrast microscope" and only got back patent references dating as far back as the years 1952 & 1953.\n\nHowever, when I narrowed down the keyword search to just "microscope," I was able to find all of the following U.S. Patents for the year 1935:\n\n1,987,776\n1,988,946\n1,989,691\n1,991,983\n1,991,997\n1,996,141\n1,998,216\n2,000,737\n2,003,387\n2,004,806\n2,013,422\n\nI hope I typed them out correctly for you.  \n\nNote:  I wasn't able to check each one to determine if any of them are directly related to the invention you're researching.\n\nAlso, unfortunately, just because the microscope you're looking for was invented in 1935 doesn't mean it was patented that same year.  Sorry!\n\nHope I've been of some help!

Yes, modern day inventions are fascinating. Imagine the stuff that companies have developed but have not shown us. Just the other day, I was reading about quantum teleportation and about creating force fields with plasma. It is amazing how far we have come and where our imagination can take us.

Oh, man, tomorrow!? I have not ideas for an invention (actually, I'm working on something, but don't' want to share because it does not have a patent yet).\n\n Ask your parents for help. Can you ask your teacher for an extension on the project? \nThink of some problems (besides this one) and how you can solve that problem. Does it have to be realistic, or can it be futuristic?  \n\nGoogle "inventions".  Maybe you'll get some ideas.
