Аннотация:Book Reviews literature, but also on a detailed survey of the objects on which the literature was based, by a practised histologist familiar with the longer-lasting techniques.The result is an attractively-produced book containing a wealth of illustrations from a wide range of sources, including pictures of old preparations made through the microscope as well as microtomes in use.Over a thousand literature references are included, making the book a gold-mine for all interested in microscopical history.
