Revue de presse

'The production quality of the book is excellent, as is the reproduction of micrographs ... The book is hard to fault' New Scientist

`Overall this is the most comprehensive introduction to modern microscopy currently available, but it is more than just a dry academic text. The beauty of many of the micrographs reproduced here demonstrates the aesthetic as well as the scientific rewards which can be gained by looking ever more closely at the materials which surround us.
