Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a critical study and review of the development and utilization of microscopes over the last three hundred and fifty years from Leeuwenhoek's single-lens microscopes to the multiple-lens and electron microscopes of today. The text is wide-ranging with an overview of the instrument itself and its uses in many disciplines, as well as of the individuals whose ingenuity and relentless curiosity led to its ongoing evolution. Here, you will find insights into the mindset and methods of the early pioneers, their ideas and achievements, and the controversies and collaborations which enriched the field. The author's style is approachable and will appeal to the non-specialist with a general interest in science, history and discovery. It will be of particular interest to present-day microscopists, amateur and professional alike, who have a curiosity about the history of the tools of their trade.
