Abstract
MESSRS. W. WATSON AND SONS, LTD., held their fourth exhibition of microscopes at the Central Hall, Westminster, on December 7-11, when the manifold uses of the microscope were practically illustrated, and many different types of instrument were on view. Members of the Quekett Microscopical Club were helpful in explaining points of interest to the scientific microscopist and instilling enthusiasm for microscopy in the amateur. A large number of different microscopes, from the comparatively simple student's microscope to the more intricate type used for research purposes, was on view. Other apparatus being demonstrated included photomicrographic and other cameras, dyes and stains, dissecting instruments, micro-projectors, telescopes, and other optical instruments. Messrs. Chance Bros, supplied an exhibition of glass in various stages from the rough mass to the finished optical lens. Messrs. Kodak also had an exhibition, as also had Polarisers, Ltd. A catalogue of the exhibition forms a useful guide to scientific workers in the many branches of science in which the microscope is indispensable and also to the amateur microscopist. The catalogue can be obtained from Messrs. W. Watson and Sons, Ltd., 313 High Holborn, London, W.C.I.
