Synopsis
From the earliest hand-held lenses to today's most sophisticated models, the limits of human knowledge have been pushed by microscopes. Whether its the detail in a fly's wing or the structure of an atom, the world under the lens is breathtaking in its detail.

Reviews
Grade 4-6-A general overview of microscopes from the discovery and use of early lenses to their many uses today. Several types are discussed, including simple and compound, as well as newer, more sophisticated kinds such as the transmission electron microscope, the scanning electron microscope, the acoustic microscope, and the scanning tunneling microscope. The layout is simple and appealing and includes large, color photographs on nearly every page. Children will find the pictures of a magnified wasp's head and a magnified spider's fangs especially fascinating. The basic design and clear explanations about key concepts and ideas will make the book especially appealing for students doing reports.
