12 ELEMENTARY PHOTO -MICROGRAPHY. 



A list of books upon the scientific side of the 

 subject will be given to enable the amateur to 

 pursue his study with more accuracy and more 

 efficient apparatus than are contemplated for 

 beginners with limited purses and scanty leisure. 



I am aware that some of the methods recom- 

 mended are not in strict accordance with the practice 

 of scientists, but I am not writing for experts in 

 possession of high-class apparatus, but for be- 

 ginners, and I do claim that an amateur with 

 simple apparatus may produce results which, 

 though not perfect, are good and acceptable for 

 nearly all purposes. A doctor, for example, who 

 may wish to photograph certain specimens of only 

 temporary interest, is enabled to do so by simple 

 means perhaps already at command, and with 

 sufficient exactitude to serve his purpose, even 

 with high powers, whilst with low powers he need 

 not be ashamed of comparing results with the best. 



Many of the original prints for illustrations in 

 this book have been shown at the exhibitions of 

 the Royal Photographic Society, and all were taken 

 with objectives supplied with student's microscope.
