Format:Paperback
Although this is a 'childrens' book it is ideal for those starting out with microscopes who want examples of different magnification. I found it very helpful in deciding the level of magnification I needed.
The instructions on how to prepare slides are particularly useful. These are dotted round the book and show the materials you need to prepare each item and how to do it. Most adult books on the subject assume you already know this! There is a section suggesting kit you need to prepare items for slide mounting.
This is an excellent book for those starting out and trying to decide what is needed - at the price, highly recommended!

This book took quite a while to arrive. It is a fantastic accompiment to the new microscope my son received for Christmas. The details and photos are incredible, and the book clearly explains how to prepare slides and how to work a microscope. Perfect for a beginner scientist - and I enjoyed reading through it, too!

Quite a large book (nearly A4), full colour, big print with "bullet points", aimed at the complete beginner.
