Abstract
THIS book gives a useful and adequate account of the theory and practice of photomicrography. It is written from the point of view of the beginner and amateur, and full explanations are given of the principles governing the results aimed at and of the methods for obtaining these results. Photomicrography with the lowest and highest powers is dealt with, and wherever possible simple and home-made apparatus is described. In addition to photomicrography proper, the various photographic processes are explained and described, and methods of making lantern slides, colour photography, and the preparation and mounting of objects are included. The book is well produced and profusely illustrated both by figures in the text and with forty-four plates, several of which are coloured and reproduced from direct colour photographs. The plates illustrate very well the different results that can be obtained with different methods of illumination, various objectives and varying adjustments. We believe that Messrs. Hind and Randle's handbook will be found a very useful work on the subject of photomicrography.
