You will find this an unusual How-To book. Most manuals and instruction
books, if they are read at all, sit on a shelf for occasional reference.

When you visit Ireland, you'll discover not only many things about the place and its people, but you will feel trans-ported to a different state of being. There is some magic in a visit to Ireland, and at times you even lose a sense of what century you are in. We found the people of Ireland to be generous and welcoming, and we especially
enjoyed their humor. We observed universal respect for thrift and prudence
balanced by the offer of hospitality and friendship. The young thirst
for knowledge while elders have a reverence for wisdom and, above all,
character. We've touched on these themes in this book by using separate
chapters. |

There are scant resources on the web and in books about making microscope filters, especially Rheinberg, Darkfield, and Oblique filters. How do they work? How do you make them? The author saves the reader the trouble of doing all the research by providing a step by step manual on microscope filter making. For over a decade, the author has made microscope filters for universities around the world, for the Mayo Clinic, for professors, industrial scientists, hospital researchers, doctors and veterinarians on every continent, and for amateurs as well. In addition to the main topic of Rheinberg filters, covered are polarization and oblique filter making, which adds to the repertoire of microscope contrast techniques. The book also lists many resources for products and related references about microscopy. Loaded with over 144 photos and illustrations, included are bonus chapters showing the reader how to make a microscope camera adapter, a nice wooden filter case, and instructions for making a plant press. Having created sets of Rheinberg filters for various makes and models of microscopes, new, old, and antique, the author shares all of his techniques. Besides being a course on microscope filter making, the book provides the key elements to setting up a home based business via the internet, with a complete marketing plan that can be applied to other hobbies and interests as well. |

I have recommended this book to others." --Sandra |
