Synopsis

Master the art of preparing and mounting microscopic objects with practical, hands-on steps.

This concise guide focuses on clean, reliable methods for handling slides, covers, and mounting media, so your specimens look clear and dust-free under the microscope. Readable and approachable, it emphasizes careful preparation and the right tools to prevent damage and improve results.

From choosing the right slide and keeping it spotless to selecting the thinnest covers for high-powered work, this book covers the essentials. It explains how to sort slides by thickness, how to measure and cut covers, and how to avoid common pitfalls that blur or obscure specimens. You’ll learn why quality glass matters and how to keep dust away before you mount anything for viewing.

The text also details practical mounting techniques, including the use of various materials to defend specimens, and how to work with Canada balsam and other preparations. It describes drying versus balsam mounting, how to clean and prep delicate covers, and how to handle small objects with care for the best possible clarity.

• How to select, clean, and prepare slides and covers to minimize dust and scratches.
• Ways to measure, cut, and fit thin glass and circular covers for different magnifications.
• Practical steps for mounting, polishing, and using balsam to preserve specimens.
• Grounded techniques for preparing teeth, bone, horn, and hair sections, including polarized-light considerations.

Ideal for readers beginning in microscopy or revisiting classic methods for reliable, repeatable results.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
