J. H. Wythe Microscopist

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The first and second editions of this work, in 1851 and 1853, were intended to furnish a manual on the use of the microscope for physicians and naturalists. The third and present editions aim to be also a compendium of the micro scopic sciences, but as microscopy reaches its climax in prac tical medicine this branch of study receives the largest attention. Matters of mere curiosity have been but briefly referred to, while every necessary fact or principle relating to the microscope has been carefully stated and classified.
