Abstract
ALTHOUGH the microscope has now become firmly established in the chemical laboratory, the average chemist is none too familiar with the instrument, and its possibilities are likely to be under-estimated. This volume offers to research worker, analyst, or technical chemist a useful compendium of microscopic technique, together with a clear explanation of the theory of the microscope, an understanding of which is essential for trustworthy and accurate work, especially at the higher magnifications. The various methods of illumination are set out, and their effects on resolution and contrast well explained.
