The Rife Microscopes

It is known that Rife built at least five microscopes and the only one still known to be in existence is stored at Blythe House of the London Science Museum. Another of his microscopes is claimed to be in private ownership in the USA.

The Rife microscope stored in Blythe house is number 5 which belonged to Dr. Gonin. This microscope is not on show to the public and can only be seen by special arrangement. The museum receives about 2 requests a year to see the microscope (this is more than any other individual microscope on store at the Science Museum) and on the 21st December 1999, I visited the museum to see the microscope for myself.

Footnote:
Provenance

The microscope was recently purchased in the USA from an elderly gentleman who had visited the Rife laboratory in San Diago with his father when he was a young boy. His father was a friend of Rife's and as a watchmaker he might have had some involvement with the construction of the metalwork on the microscopes. This microscope, along with some other instruments, were gifted by Rife to the watchmaker and upon his death, they passed to his son and hence to the current owner.
