About This Book

A comprehensive survey of the microscope’s history, optics, and practical operation, blending accounts of technical improvements with step-by-step guidance on construction, handling, and observation. The text outlines different instrument types and specially adapted microscopes for bacteriological, petrographic, and industrial uses, and it details laboratory methods including staining, mounting, and measurement. Dozens of engraved and colored illustrations accompany explanations to clarify form and technique. The work emphasizes educational and medical applications, discusses the microscope’s utility in manufacturing and analysis, and concludes with appendices of practical formulæ, metrical tables, and comparative thermometric values for students and practitioners.
