Microscopy and Microtechnique R. Marimuthu

The theory and practice of microscopy and microtechnique are an integral part of any course in any field ofbiology. Developments in the manufacture of the microscope and newer applications of microscopictechnique have necessitated an updating of information and a more practical guide to the use and care of themicroscope and to microtechnique. This book serves this purpose and covers the basic principles andadvanced concepts of microscopy and microtechnique in a comprehensive manner. Principles of variousmicroscopes from simple light microscope to modern confocal microscopy, the documentation of imagesobtained in microscopes and the steps involved in preparing the biological material for microscopicobservation are presented in a neat coherent manner. This book would serve as a ready reference book forstudents, researchers and teachers of life sciences.
