Adding info on the aesthetics of scientific instruments to this page: Scientific revolution. This could go in many places on Wikipedia, although the current setup of Scientific instrument and Instrumentation or even science pages don't really support its addition. The breadth of what I'm interested in covering doesn't all fit in the era described by the Scientific revolution page, so I will only include what is relevant to the time period, I guess. The rest will have to go on UChicago wikispaces. I think it's important because the materials, manufacturing techniques, and look of instruments have changed drastically over this time period, and what remains of instruments today colors our views of the science being done then.
Below is a paste of the page as it currently appears, which I will add edits to. My additions are "Materials, construction, and aesthetics" below "Other devices".
