Synopsis

This is an introductory book on the light microscope, in the outstanding tradition of the Royal Microscopical Society. It begins with a consideration of the interactions of light with matter and the use of the stereo low-power microscope. Subsequent chapters describe the high-power compound microscope, describing both the older stand with separate lamp as well as the later research models with integral illumination and infinity-corrected optics. Other chapters cover the basic optics of the instrument, together with a description of the different types of condensers, objectives and eye pieces. The final chapter is devoted to the correct use of the microscope (so as to obtain the best possible image) and caring for the instrument. It contains a check list to help in diagnosing and curing troubles and dissatisfaction with the image, as well as a glossary and list of further reading.
