Several factors contribute to the poor quality often observed in photomicrographs made at low magnification. The oculars may be difficult to adjust to suit the individual observer; it may be difficult to focus the photomicroscope on the specimen; uniform illumination may be difficult to obtain and the photomontage techniques necessary for larger specimens require considerable skill.' We have de...

WVith improvements in and the lowering costs of photographic methods, light and electron photomicrography have become indispensable for the spread of biomedically related knowledge. Now color photomicrography is within the range of most laboratory budgets, but to my knowledge there has been no comprehensive practical guidebook on color techniques. This book attempts to fill the need. Unfortunat...

Peter Evennett took his first degree in Zoology at the University of Liverpool and his PhD at St Andrews, during which time his interests in microscopy developed. He lectured in Zoology at the University of Leeds, UK, for more than 30 years, with a particular interest in histology, cell biology and, of course, light and electron microscopy. He retired early from the University, and now concentr...
