The Use of the Microscope. A Handbook for Routine and Research Work. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING.

Descripción

xi, 315 pp; 28 text figures. Original cloth. Very Good. First Edition. The First Edition, by which I mean the first printing of the first edition, has only the words "First Edition" printed on the title page, as is the case with this copy. The later printings state First Edition Second (or Third or Fourth, etc.) Impression. See Albert F. Blakeslee "John Belling", chapter 16 in Clark and Kasten, History of Staining, third edition. Quoting Blakeslee, Belling "perfected the aceto-carmine method of staining by the addition of iron which rendered possible a clear differentiation between chromosomes and cytoplasm. What a single method in stain technic may mean to the development of a science would be realized if a moratorium for a year should be declared on Belling's iron-aceto-carmine method and its various later modifications. The writer of this note realizes that such a moratorium would put the cytological work on Datura temporarily out of business" (p. 118).Copy of Sabra J. Hook, with her signature, dated 1931, on the front pastedown.
