Wie funktioniert ein Mikroskop und wie ist es aufgebaut? Wie benutzt man ein Mikroskop? Wie bereitet man die zu untersuchenden Praparate vor? Diese und viele weitere Fragen beantwortet Dr. Albrecht Zimmermann in dem vorliegenden Buch ausfuhrlich. Er geht dabei auf die Zusammenstellung der Linsen, Offnungswinkel, die Wahrnehmung des menschlichen Auge und vielem mehr ein. In einem eigenen Abschnitt widmet sich der Autor der Erklarung von mikroskopischen Nebenapparaten, z.B. zum Zeichnen oder Messen. Interessant und Informativ erlautert Zimmermann verschiedene Moglichkeiten der Praparation von Objekten, insbesondere Tierischen und Pflanzlichen. Das vorliegende Werk ist ein ausserst umfangreiches und allgemein verstandliches Buch fur alle Freunde der Mikroskopie, welches seinen Nutzen und seine Berechtigung bis heute erhalten hat. Der Verlag der Wissenschaften verlegt historische Literatur bekannter und unbekannter wissenschaftlicher Autoren. Dem interessierten Leser werden so teilweise langst nicht mehr verlegte Werke wieder zugangig gemacht. Das vorliegende Buch ist ein Nachdruck der Originalausgabe von 1895
