About this title

Synopsis:

The ideal introduction for anyone needing to learn how to use an optical microscope, this handbook is a guide to the instrument's uses, the theory behind its workings, and the details of its principal parts. The book also explains the methods of image improvement and instrument care and includes a glossary and list of useful formulae.

Synopsis:

The microscope is an optical instrument which is used to visualize and magnify detail, to measure length, angles and area of an object, and to determine refractive index, reflectance and phase change. This introduction to the optical microscope has been designed for clinicians with little or no knowledge of the instrument. It details the construction and principal components of the microscope and discusses the theory behind its workings. The text provides step-by-step guidance for the production of clear images and advice on instrument care.
