Microscopic Objects: How to Mount Them

Condition: Fair. Jacket. Light scuffs, and storage marks at extremities. Tanning and foxing throughout, predominantly to endpapers and edge of text block. Small owners inscription at front. Text and images clear and readable. Microscopic Objects: How to Mount Them — Jean C. Johnson (English Universities Press /Hazell Watson, 1948). Practical, authoritative and compact, this classic manual shows you how to prepare and mount a wide range of specimens for the light microscope. Clear, no-nonsense instructions cover insects, radiolaria, spicules, diatoms and plant tissues, illustrated with figures and photographic plates. The 1948 edition retains the handsome pictorial dust-jacket over blue cloth — this copy is in fair condition with expected age-toning and light wear to the jacket edges but a sound binding (but with some cracking) and complete plates. Ideal for collectors of vintage microscopy books, practicing microscopists seeking historical techniques, or anyone wanting a hands-on guide to slide preparation. A practical reference and attractive addition to any scientific or vintage book collection.…
