This book is a kids book but it is jam packed with everything I was dying to know about microscopy。 It covers the history and mechanics of the microscope， instructions to collect stuff and prepare it for imaging and explains what you might see。 There is even a section on fungi （with a picture of a bunny！ No wonder it was shortlisted for the Science Book Prize in 1989）⠀

A quick， easy read that give a brief， comprehensive overview of the optical microscope。 In addition to providing basic information about the optical microscope， this book also gives a brief introduction to some of the other types of microscopes available， and how they are used in different fields of study。 It supplies the amateur microscopist with some beginner projects that introduce them to the fascinating world of microscopy。
