 Mounting and Photographing Microscopic Objects. 



[Intended to ' ' show how any possessor of a Microscope may make for 

 himself preparations which though they may not equal by many degrees 

 the productions of the best professional mounters, yet have a far hfgher 

 educational value, as their preparation wUl afford information which 

 could not be otherwise acquired." Deals with materials and instruments ; 

 the objects of mounting; details of mounting a section of deal and a 

 piece of sole's skin (dry) ; mounting a flea (in balsam) ; hardening ; 

 imbedding; staining; vegetable sections; mineral and rock sections; 

 mounting in glycerine jelly {supra, p. 736); photomicrography.]
