Descripción

A very pleasing first edition of this history of the microscope, with the scarce original glassine wrapper. First edition. With the vanishingly scarce original glassine wrapper. Illustrated with one hundred and sixty-four images. A detailed history, compiled from original instruments and documents, of the microscope, offering detailed insight into the development of this important laboratory instrument. With chapters on the history of magnifiers, the invention of the microscope, early compound microscopes, improvements, reflections, and more. Includes references to important figures in this process from Robert Hooke to Benjamin Martins and George Adams. Written by Reginald S. Clay and Thomas H. Court, British scientific historians best known for this work and fellows of the Royal Microscopical Society. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original glassine wrapper is worn with chipping and tearing to the extremities resulting in light loss. A tear to the rear panel resulting in the panel and rear fly leaf to detach from the remainder of the wrapper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Light spotting to the endpapers. Fine.
