Chemical Microscopy = Classical Microscopy = Truth

摘要

Anyone who has ever read The Microscope or used a microscope in any analytical way has probably considered the instrument's long history or thought about what the future may hold for microscopy. Those of us who have practiced microscopy for some time can learn to appreciate the microscope's origin, persistence and practicality. We also like to reflect on microscopists and their pursuit of the truth. "Even the best microscope becomes a boring toy in the hands of the inexperienced." Those were the words of German botanist, microscopist and microchemist Julius von Sachs more than 140 years ago. He emphasized that the successful use of the microscope is impossible without proper training.
