Synopsis

Excerpt from A Guide to the Microscopic Examination of the Eye

Every Ophthalmologist who uses the microscope knows that the eye, in virtue of its peculiar form and composition, demands treat ment differing in many respects from that sufficient for organs which are more consistent and uniform in structure, and the precise relation of whose parts it is less important to preserve. There are, more over, certain processes which are adapted for the demonstration of ocular structures solely. Further, the technique involved in the division of the bulb calls for special consideration. Many important points are not discussed in the various excellent handbooks on microscopic work, and, although much may be learned from these regarding general methods, the eye, as a rule, is treated briefly. Here, for the first time, an attempt has been made to collect such matter as may prove specially useful to the Ophthalmologist. I am well aware that many workers possess valuable information on certain points, which it has not been my fortune to acquire. Perhaps this book may contribute to a general knowledge of what is most serviceable. Any suggestion will be gratefully received.

At all events, this work is not a mere compilation; the methods described have in almost every instance been tested by myself.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from A Guide to the Microscopic Examination of the Eye This work has been published in response to oft-repeated demands. In it will be found in essence the instruction which I have been accustomed to give in my Microscopic Course, and an account of the methods which I have found to be most generally useful. It was originally my intention to have incorporated it in a larger work on the Pathological Histology of the Eye. I have, however, been invited by Professor Orth to undertake that portion of his d104-Book on Pathological Anatomy which deals with the eye. A technical treatise like this would be out of place in such a work; it is, therefore, presented as a separate volume.
