A dozen favourite books related to microscopy

摘要

Several distinguished members of the Quekett have already written of their dozen favourite microscopical books, and all have reported how difficult it is to make a selection. I suppose most of us have accumulated books about micros-copy, natural sciences and imaging in general. My microscopy library fills about 25 feet of shelving (which is modest by some standards) and, yes, it is very difficult to make a selection. I find that a chapter or a part of a single book has its merits, and I value the way a particular sub-ject is approached by one author over another. So, like most of us, I dip into my books.
