Abstract
WHEN public interest in the curiosities of science was widespread, some fifty years ago, the possession of a microscope was a social necessity. The instrument to-day is no longer the popular plaything it formerly was. It has become a recognised part of the equipment essential to the progress of science and industry. Only the makers of microscopes will regret their useful restriction to the laboratory and the workshop, where the real function of the instrument can best be fulfilled.
