The Ultimate Guide to Your Microscope

Good quality book and very informative, and a really good price

An excellent guide to stimulate children young and old. Simple techniques to prepare specimens for microsocopy

Good book with plenty of interesting projects for young kids. Covers all the basic slide prep techniques in good detail and has many practical experiments. I like this book as the pictures shown throughout are real images from an optical microscope and therefore closely resemble the images likely to be acquired on my child's microscope. Rather than setting a higher expectation from books that mainly present imagines from electron microscopes.

This is an excellent book for anyone, old or young, who has acquired access to a microscope for the first time, and wants to explore the magic world which is mostly out-of-sight. It takes you through step-by-step, and makes the process fun!

This is a very nice book and contains a great deal of practical information and to this extent is very good. The section on slide production is very clear. However, its tone seems to be addressed to a very young child which I think is offputting to a teenager and older and I think its range of objects looked at seems a bit limited at first reading. In fact probably most of the areas are covered but under headings which are chatty and amusing but sometimes seem to be about different things! There is very little on pond life which is a big area for the amateur microscopist which I found a bit surprising. Like the curates egg good in parts!

I purchased this for my 6 yr old grandson to accompany his new microscope that he will be receiving this Christmas . It looks to be very well written and pitched just right for children of that age and upwards. Can't wait to give it to him!

Lots of information on varioius subjects. Plenty of advice. Ideal for both beginner and more experienced user. Helping me get the most out of my microscope.

With many years of experience as a teacher and doing microscopy as a hobby I can unreservedly recommend this book. Brings back the joy and excitement of learning and discovery so lacking in some schools today.

I bought three of these books for my grandkids. I wanted to introduce them to an exciting hobby. This book turned out to be a good choice, even for teenagers. The paper quality and pictures are very good. It covers a variety of subjects you can study under the microscope. I would even recommend it to adults who are not familiar with microscopes. It is just a pleasant book to browse through and enjoy. I have worked with microscopes for many years and even I enjoy looking through this book.

Good book with lots of experiments. Good for beginners.

The first section of the book describes a basic microscope in generic terms and explains how to use it, take care of it and prepare slides. This is essential for first time users so that they can get an idea of what it can do. The rest of the book describes many different projects on how to view various objects using appropriate tecniques. In this way the student can get to know how to use the microscope proficiently and to realise its potential and range of application. It is well illustrated with colour photographs of what they should see.
