Most information about the nature of living cells is discovered through light microscope observation. The image seen through a microscope is not a magnified point-by-point representation of the object, but is an abstract representation of the object that must be interpreted. This interpretation is influenced not only by the actual structure of the object, but the physical characteristics of light and the microscope components, the preparation of the sample, and the microscopist's background. In order to interpret the image correctly and fully, the microscopist must understand the interaction of light with the sample. The purpose of this book is to provide the most comprehensive, easy-to-use, and informative guide on light microscopy.

About the Author:
Randy O. Wayne is a plant cell biologist at Cornell University notable for his work on plant development. In particular, along with his colleague Peter K. Hepler, Wayne established the powerful role of calcium in regulating plant growth; accordingly, their 1985 article, Calcium and plant development, was cited by at least 405 subsequent articles to earn the "Citation Classic" award from Current Contents magazine and has been cited by hundreds more since 1993. He is an authority on how plant cells sense gravity through pressure, on the water permeability of plant membranes, light microscopy, as well as the effects of calcium on plant development. He has published over 50 articles and is the author of another book, Light and Video Microscopy.
Review:
"As such, this book would be an excellent undergraduate-level text on optical microscopy for biologists. It is also valuable to anyone using a light microscope." -- Carol Bayles, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA
