Microscopes for metrology, for petrology, for microbiology, for micro-botony, for
metalurgy, etc. etc. etc. are all covered at least briefly.
Even a nice summary bit on the joys of microscopy as a hobby or recreation for your

Contents:
Preface
This book is intended as a guide to the use of the microscope. The correct use of the instrument follows directly from a knowledge of the functions of the different parts. It has therefore been found best to develop the method of manipulation in the course of the descriptions of the component protions. Such particulars as are given of the principles of its optical construction are of the simplest character, and their comprehension requires no optical knowledge. Certain theoretical matters are stated in this book, but are not explained. Some of the descriptions may appear to be extremely elementary to experienced microsocpist, but it is hoped that even they may find useful matter which is not available in the ordinary text-books.
