The Microscope And Methods Of Microscopy

The microscope is among the most essential and most frequently used instruments in the laboratory. An instrument of recent manufacture is always desirable. There is no choice among microscopes insofar as the optical systems are concerned, but a particular type of standard design may be preferred. Their general construction is shown in figure. They should be handled and carried only by the arm in order to avoid strain on the coarse and fine adjusting mechanisms.
