Microscopy is a dynamic area of science, incorporating both basic
classroom microscopes and sophisticated research style instruments
that can be driven by light, electrons, or X-rays. The rate of
advance in the area over the last 50 years has led to a number of
technological advances. In this Very Short Introduction Terence
Allen, an established expert on microscope techniques, describes
the scientific principles behind the main forms of microscopy, and
the exciting new developments in the field. Focusing on the main
underlying principles, and introducing the power of what is
achievable today using microscopes, Allen demonstrates how
microscopy impinges on almost every aspect of our daily lives; from
medical diagnosis to quality control in manufacture. Beginning with
a brief history of the early stages of microscopy development,
Allen then concludes with a comprehensive account of the diverse
spectrum of microscopy available today. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very
Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains
hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized
books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas,
and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
