The Microscope | Nature

ABSTRACT THIS book opens to English readers an entirely new page in microscopical literature. It leads the way in supplying a want which every thorough microscopist has realized for the last

twenty years. In a complete form this treatise has been accessible to the German reader for at least ten years. The absence of it, or an equivalent, in the English language has been a most

serious drawback to the advancement of the highest optical work in English microscopes. In optical manipulation, the English optician at his best proves not only equal to any in the world,

but, in the highest class of work, has shown lately that he takes a foremost place. But with no attempt on the part of English mathematicians and microscopists to become masters and

expounders of the theory of the microscope and of microscopic vision, the practical optician can make no real advance. English “stands,” and those made in America on English models, are of

exquisite construction, and are quite equal to our present necessities; but, for all the great advances and improvements that have been made in _English_ object-glasses during the last

fifteen years, we are, for all practical purposes, primarily indebted to Germany. And this is readily explained by the fact that the German specialists have made a systematic and persistent

study of the theory of the microscope. The Microscope in Theory and Practice. Translated from the German of Prof. Carl Naegeli and Prof. S. Schwendener. (London: Swan Sonnenschein and Co.,
