Official Description:
Have you ever looked through a microscope and seen a fascinating new world take shape before your eyes?
A drop of water, a strand of hair, a salt crystal - seemingly simple objects all - reveal their fascinating secrets when seen through the microscope.
Microscopy as a hobby requires no special knowledge, skill or large expense, and the rewards - penetrating the secrets of life itself - are unforgettable. Beginning with the simplest experiments, this book acquaints you with all the technical kills necessary to increase your knowledge of the universe. As you see world of small creatures, and obtain unexpected views of their bodily construction, you will become a microscope enthusiast for life.
The author, a distinguished scientist and teacher, guides you on your exploratory journeys, leading you into new areas and anticipating your every question. You will have, in effect, a private tutor, kind and wise, to stand at your shoulder and direct your investigations. As Dr. Stehli points out, how one-sided and limited our knowledge would be if the trail-blazing scientist had not been able to discover new worlds by microscopic examination. Perhaps, with his help, you will blaze some trails of your own.
