Excerpt from How to See With the Microscope: Being Useful Hints Connected With the Selection and Use of the Instrument; Also Some Discussion of the Claims and Capacity of the Modern High-Angled Objectives, as Compared With Those of Medium Aperture; With Instructions as to the Selection and Use of Am The first edition of this work having been exhausted some time has given occasion for such corrections as crept into the former edition in spite Oof the utmost care. As a hand book for beginners it is a pleasure to know that it has prevented unlearning many now obsolete notions. The wonderful advances recently shown especially by makers of stands does not now perhaps warrant the strong bias made in the text. The best stand to-day may not be to-morrow. The general rules for selection, however, hold good; If it continues as a help to see none will rejoice more than the author.
