Explore practical microscopy in one authoritative volume
This illustrated journal collects how-to articles, notes, and reports from northern microscopical societies, delivering practical guidance for amateur and professional observers alike.
The Northern Microscopist, Vol. 1, focuses on real-world techniques and observations. It features accessible introductions to fungi and lichens, micro-fungi and leaf studies, and methods like double-staining, photo-micrography, and section-cutting. The edition also presents abstracts of foreign articles, a reader-friendly exchange column, and a Verification Department that highlights careful measurement and objective testing. Through monthly pieces and illustrated plates, it turns everyday pond-life and micro-organisms into hands-on study.
