Short Summary
A good introduction to microscopes and microscopy. It advocates and provides a sound foundation and
understanding of the parts of the microscope and their function. It contains a useful discussion of how to set up and align a microscope, with numerous photographs of parts and control knobs on a basic instrument. It also provides details on several common types of microscopy, including phase contrast, differential interference, and fluorescence, as well as mentioning special techniques such as darkfield and confocal. Color and black-and-white images provide informative comparisons of different microscopy techniques. This is a handy book for anyone with limited microscopy experience, or in need of a clear, basic reference.
