Abstract
IN the preface the author puts in a plea for the more frequent use of photography in the laboratory for the making of permanent records of apparatus and experiments, and for the more extensive use of the lantern slide and cine film for teaching and demonstration purposes. This book is written primarily for the scientific worker who wishes to make use of photography either to augment his own research records or to illustrate his published work; but it is also directed to the serious amateur photographer who, however skilled he may have become by experience, can only benefit by a knowledge of the fundamental principles of photography.
