I know that  M Lamar Jones and a Dr. McCormick had taught a course at past NSH symposia. Dr. McCormick had a keen interest in the history of old techniques and microscopes. Lamar would be a good resource, as he's easier to locate, because he's actively involved in the NSH.  Also Dr. McCormick published a collection of books having to do with the history of microscopes and microtechnique. They were published in 1987 by Science Heritage Ltd.
                                 Lincolnwood, IL 60645   They are entitled  History of Microscopy Series
I hope this helps you out.
