Elementary Microscopical Technology, Part 1, The Technical History Of A Slide, From The Crude Materials To The Finished Mount - Frank Lowber James - Bog

Elementary Microscopical Technology, Part 1 is a comprehensive manual written by Frank Lowber James in 1887. The book provides a detailed account of the technical history of a slide, from the raw materials used to make it to the finished mount. It is aimed at students of microscopy who are interested in understanding the process of slide-making and the tools and techniques used in the field.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of slide-making. The first chapter provides an overview of the history of microscopy and the development of slide-making techniques. The second chapter focuses on the raw materials used in slide-making, including glass, chemicals, and stains. The third chapter covers the preparation of the slide, including cleaning, cutting, and polishing the glass.The fourth chapter describes the process of mounting the specimen on the slide, including the use of mounting media and coverslips. The fifth chapter discusses the use of stains and dyes to enhance the visibility of the specimen, and the sixth chapter covers the use of microscopes to observe the specimen.Throughout the book, James provides detailed instructions and illustrations to guide readers through each step of the slide-making process. He also includes a glossary of technical terms and a list of recommended readings for further study.Overall, Elementary Microscopical Technology, Part 1 is a valuable resource for students of microscopy who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the technical aspects of slide-making. It provides a comprehensive overview of the tools, techniques, and materials used in the field and is written in a clear and accessible style.In Three Parts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
