CONTAINS DIRECTIONS FOR COLLECTING AND PREPARING 

 PLANT MATERIAL FOR MICROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION 



IT is based upon a course in botanical micro-technique, and is the first complete manual to 

 be published on this subject. It is the result of several years' work with classes in residence 

 at the University of Chicago, and with University Extension classes away from the Uni- 

 versity. It aims, therefore, to meet the requirements, not only of the student who has the assist- 

 ance of an instructor in a fully equipped laboratory, but also the student who must work by himself 

 and with limited apparatus. Free-hand sectioning, the paraffin method, the collodion method, 

 and the glycerine method, are treated in considerable detail. In later chapters specific direc- 

 tions are given for making such preparations as are needed by those who wish to study the 

 plant kingdom from the algoe up to the flowering plants. Special attention is paid to the stain- 

 ing of karyokinetic figures, because the student who masters this problem will find little difficulty 

 in differentiating other structures. P'ormulas are given for the reagents commonly used in the 

 histological laboratory.
