The Preparation & Mounting of Microscopic Objects

"The Preparation & Mounting of Microscopic Objects" by Thomas Davies is a guide that teaches people how to get things ready to look at under a microscope. It's made for people who are just starting out and those who already know a lot about using microscopes. The book explains all sorts of ways to prepare objects, like keeping things super clean and picking the right stuff to hold the objects. It starts by saying how important it is to be clean and have the right tools when you're getting things ready for the microscope. Even if something looks clean, it might not be clean enough when you zoom in really close! The book then talks about what tools you need, how to prepare and mount objects without water, and how to pick the best slides and coverslips. By teaching these basic things first, the book prepares readers for more complicated instructions on how to handle different kinds of objects later on.
