Let G ⊂ GL(V) be a reductive algebraic subgroup acting on the symplectic vector space W=(V ⊕ V^*)⊕ m, and let μ: W → Lie(G)^* be the corresponding moment map. In this article, we use the theory of invariant Hilbert schemes to construct a canonical desingularization of the symplectic reduction μ-1(0)/ /G for classes of examples where G=GL(V), O(V), or Sp(V). For these classes of examples, μ-1(0)/ /G is isomorphic to the closure of a nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie algebra, and we compare the Hilbert-Chow morphism with the (well-known) symplectic desingularizations of μ-1(0)/ /G.
