Editorial | What Every Microscopist Should Know (Take the Challenge)


THE MICROSCOPE
2018, Volume 66:2, p. ii

EXCERPT
When I introduce the topic of substance examination and the study of samples to an audience of budding microscopists, I will try to persuade them that once particles are classified, they need not learn how to identify every possible example in that class until they first learn the types of particles that are encountered daily by the microscopist. The number is always far less and more manageable, and this usually puts them at ease — for a while.
