Photo-Micrography, 



The essentials are a light source, a raicroscope, a 

 camera, and objects. Better results with less trouble 

 can be obtained by using artificial light, which may be 



either limelight or lamplight. Lamplight should take 

 the form of the ordinary microscope lamp, although, 

 any flat-flame lamp with wick slit, of preferably one inch 

 in length may be used.
