Editorial | Light Microscopy and the Study of Things


THE MICROSCOPE
2013, Volume 61:2, p. ii
DOI
https://doi.org/10.59082/HRNO6470
AUTHOR
Gary J. Laughlin
EXCERPT
Do scientists or students of natural or physical science really need to learn how to use the light microscope? That is a question I often address, or in this case, when it’s time to write my editorial for this journal, whose primary audience consists of seasoned microscopists or novices who are still learning new ways to use the microscope to solve their scientific problems.
