Of course I know there there are no microscopes in this illustration, and indeed the simple ones look quite similar to those in the Voynich MS. Or rather the other way round.
The point is that, to a modern observer, at least one of them really looks a lot like an old microscope.
For this 13th century fresco, nobody would of course ever suggest that it was intended to represent one.
