Learn microscopy the easy way
This book is intended for all who are interested in microscopes and
microscopy. You will find basic information on microscopy, how microscopes
work, how best to prepare a sample, the role of contrasting
techniques and what a perfect illumination is good for. Some easy
experiments invite you to get used to microscopic preparation and to
play around. You don’t need to study this book from first to last page –
well, except that we would love if you did.
During her 10 years in
