Abstract
IN this book plain and practical directions are given for the preparation of photo-micrographs with the use of powers up to a ¼inch objective. The author very rightly insists that the beginner should commence with low powers, and as he gains experience proceed step by step to the use of the higher powers. A feature of the book is its “common sense”: the tyro is not bewildered by a mass of details and scores of chemicals and solutions, but just a few are chosen and fully described which the author has used and found suitable, and throughout directions are given for the adaptation of simple apparatus to the end in view.
The Practical Principles of Plain Photomicrography.
