The Microscope and Its Revelations

Hardcover (Forgotten Books Feb. 14, 2018)
Excerpt from The Microscope and Its RevelationsTait use of the Microscope, both as an instrument of scientific research and as a means of affording pleasure and recreative instruction, has become so widespread, and the instrument is now so frequently found in an expensive form capable of yielding in skilled hands good optical results, that it is eminently desirable that a treatise should be within the reach of the student and the tiro alike, which would provide both with the elements of the theory and principles involved in the construction of the instrument itself, the nature of its latest appliances, and the proper conditions on which they can be em ployed with the best results. Beyond this it should provide an outline of the latest and best modes of preparing, examining, and mounting objects, and glance, with this purpose in view, at what is easily accessible for the requirements of the amateur in the entire organic and inorganic kingdoms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
