Christian Gautier
Christian Gautier’s passion for microscopy began not in a lab, but in the pages of a comic book. As an 11-year-old in France flipping through Le Journal de Mickey, he spotted an ad for a toy microscope. That Christmas, he was delighted to find it under the tree. What followed was better than any Christmas miracle; peering into onion cells and salt crystals revealed a new world of textures, colors, and forms in young Gautier’s eyes. As he grew older, armed with a copy of Eugène Séguy’s Initiation to Microscopy, he taught himself classic techniques such as Rheinberg illumination and darkfield microscopy, building the foundation for a lifelong passion.
