Sinopsis

Excerpt from On the Construction and Use of the Microscope

These motives have induced me to give the book a more popular form, as well as to make it as practically useful as possible. The theoretical portion, therefore, only contains the principles of Dioptrics and Catoptrics, without which the construction of the microscope could not be understood; and the section treating of these subjects is further limited to the explanation of the apparatus used at the present time, although I have appended, for the sake' of complete ness, an historical Sketch of the manner in which each part of the microscope is constructed and arranged. The instruc~ tions for the use of the microscope are given with the great est fulness, as constituting the most important section of the work and as the dioptric compound microscope is the one most used at present, I have limited my observations to that alone.
