About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Use of the Microscope: A Handbook for Routine and Research Work

For scientific work, it is desirable to get in the microscope the sharpest and most contrasty images possible with the apparatus at hand. There are several dozen adjustments, or variations of methods, each of which will add slightly to the perfection of the image in the microscope. Alone, each of these slight improvements may not seem worth making; but combined they may cause a decided difference in the brilliancy and crispness of the microscopical image. In this book, the most important of these methods have been brought together from the original papers, and to them have been added the results of the writer's experience gained in years of continuous work with the microscope.
