The Electron Microscope: An Introduction to Its Fundamental Principles and Applications (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Electron Microscope: An Introduction to Its Fundamental Principles and Applications
Whenever we interpose an artificial optical system between the eye and an Object we are attempting merely to assist our eyes so as to widen their scope of vision. The eye is always the indis pensable part of a sequence: Object - vision aid - eye. In this book we are particularly concerned with the microscope. We must then keep in mind that it is only a link in this chain which we have just described.
Two almost self - evident conditions of vision must be recalled at the very beginning; first, an object is made visible by the light which it diffuses, scatters or reflects, and secondly, the position of the Object viewed is judged to be in the direction of'the line along which the light finally enters the eye. This latter circum stance lies at the basis of most Optical illusions.
