Abstract
WITH reference to T. H. T.'s suggestion (NATURE, Jan. 28, p. 137) for dealing with eyeglasses while using the microscope, I find it quite sufficient to remove the cap from the eyepiece of the microscope; this allows the eye to approach to the right distance and at the same time keep the vision corrected for astigmatism. Of course with modern students' microscopes, which usually are not fitted with eye caps, this cannot be done, and astigmatism has to be put up with.
