EXCERPT
Words have meaning. For example, – the microscope – only two words that because we see them together nearly every day, may begin to lose, not necessarily their meaning, but rather, their importance, their significance, or their relevance. We as scientists, microscopists, if not microscope users, should be prepared to answer some basic questions about these two important words and what they mean to us and to our preferred instrument of choice, the microscope. The answers to which all can be discovered here in the pages of this journal with the anticipated if not expected title: The Microscope.
Only complete issues for this publication year are available for $25 each, plus shipping; individual articles are not for sale.
