    THE rapid advance in microscopical knowledge, and the great strides in the sciences employing the microscope as an indispensable tool, have reacted upon the microscope itself, and never before were microscopes so excellent, con- venient and cheap. Indeed, the financial reason for not possessing a microscope can no longer be urged by any high school or academy, or by any person whose profession demands it. Naturally, to get the greatest good from instruments, tools, or machines of any kind, the one who uses them must understand the principles upon which their action depends, their possibilities and limitations. That the student may acquire a just comprehension of some of the fundamental principles of the microscope, and gain a working acquaintance with it, this book has been prepared. It is a growth of the laboratory, and has been modified from time to lime to keep pace with optical improvements and advancing knowledge. This edition has been largely rewritten. Many new figures and about ninety p:iges of new matter have been added, and it is hoped that the student will find it a real help in his efforts to become master of the modern microscope.
