Excerpt from Section-Cutting: A Practical Guide to the Preparation and Mounting of Sections for the Microscope, Special Prominence Being Given to the Subject of Animal Sections
IF we glance at any of the numerous maga zines devoted either wholly or in part to the subject of microscopy, we shall hardly fail to be struck with the numerous queries relating to section-cutting, which are to be found in its pages. A simple explanation of this wide spread want is afforded by the fact that the use of the microscope has at the present day extended to (and is still rapidly spreading amongst) vast numbers of students, who, in many instances, possess neither the leisure nor the means to refer for information to large and expensive text-books. Moreover, were they actually to consult such works, they would practically fail to obtain the information of which they are in need, for the coveted ih struction is to be found in those treatises only in a scattered and fragmentary form-no.
