Book Description
Should he confess all and face the consequences or should he keep his secret forever? 'A Slip Under the Microscope' is one of H.G. Wells' best-loved short stories, detailing the dilemma faced by the central character, Hill. During a botany exam, Hill inadvertently ‘cheats’ when he moves a microscope slide and is forced to choose between coming clean or staying quiet. This tale is a fascinating dissection of the themes of honesty and ethical behaviour. With certain autobiographical elements to the story, ‘A Slip Under the Microscope’ gives us a brief insight into the mind of one of the greatest authors of all time. H.G. Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific writer and the author of more than 50 novels. In addition, we wrote more than 60 short stories, alongside various scientific papers. Many of his most famous works have been adapted for film and television, including ‘The Time Machine,’ starring Guy Pearce, ‘War of the Worlds,’ starring Tom Cruise, and ‘The Invisible Man,’ starring Elizabeth Moss. Because of his various works exploring futuristic themes, Wells is regarded as one of the ‘Fathers of Science Fiction.’

Book Description
This is a brief history of the development of microscopy, from the use of beads and water droplets in ancient Greece, through the simple magnifying glass, to the modern compound microscope. The technology and optical theory are developed in a straightforward manner, and this leads to a description and explanation of the most modern technologies in electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy as well as the new scanning probe microscopies. A series of very interesting applications of the various microscopic techniques are described. The most recent pioneering techniques in near field and confocal optical microscope technologies are described and evaluated for their future importance.

Book Description
“When you first view Rose-Lynn Fisher’s photographs, you might think you’re looking down at the world from an airplane, at dunes, skyscrapers or shorelines. In fact, you’re looking at her tears. . . . [There’s] poetry in the idea that our emotional terrain bears visual resemblance to the physical world; that our tears can look like the vistas we see out an airplane window. Fisher’s images are the only remaining trace of these places, which exist during a moment of intense feeling—and then vanish.” —NPR “[A] delicate, intimate book. . . . In The Topography of Tears photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher shows us a place where language strains to express grief, longing, pride, frustration, joy, the confrontation with something beautiful, the confrontation with an onion.” —Boston Globe Does a tear shed while chopping onions look different from a tear of happiness? In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women, and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These duotone photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation. Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives. Rose-Lynn Fisher is an artist and author of the International Photography Award-winning studies Bee and The Topography of Tears. Her photographs are exhibited in galleries, festivals, and museums across the world and have been featured by the Dr. Oz Show, NPR, Smithsonian, Harper’s, New Yorker, Time, Wired, Reader’s Digest, Discover, Brain Pickings, and elsewhere. She received her BFA from Otis Art Institute and lives in Los Angeles.

Book Description
Suitable for both microscopists seeking computer skills and PC enthusiasts interested in light microscopy, this interdisciplinary text explores the capabilities of the computer-assisted light microscope. Written in clear, simple language, the book explains how computer technology expands the usefulness of the light microscope in spectrophotometry, fluorometry, polarimetry, spatial scanning, and related fields. Beginning with the basic features of light microscopy and personal computer interfacing, the text explains how to make photometric measurements and covers spectrophotometry, stepper motors, and server motors. Polarized light and video image analysis complete this introduction to the field. While software examples are provided to illustrate specific techniques, most operations are described as generalized algorithms that can be adapted to any appropriate high-level language, and used with almost any configuration of the microscope. The book suggests new experiments to inspire further study. Promising new areas of interest, such as the use of fluorescence and polarization, are also included. Computers have radically changed the field of light microscopy in recent decades. Computer Operations for Microscope Photometry helps you master the new techniques.

Book Description
Comprehensive illustrated reference on parasitic nematodes, cestodes, coccidian oocysts and trematode egg recoveries, identification, and enumeration with treatment strategies for five separate categories of animal patients Large Animal Parasitology Procedures for Veterinary Technicians illustrates, in detail, the most sensitive diagnostic procedure for internal parasites of domestic animals using the Modified Wisconsin Sugar Flotation Method. With step-by-step pictures and bullet-point instructions, this text discusses sample collection and storage techniques, as well as the strengths and weaknesses inherent to other commonly used tests. Potential sources for infection, the seasonality of the infection, possible environmental recontamination, and control strategies are all covered in detail, with suggestions to prevent reoccurrences. Parasites of the equine, large and small ruminants (including alpaca), swine, poultry and hoofed wildlife patients are included, with full color images for quick identification, an assessment of life cycle stage, and discussion of zoonotic potential. Each species section is heavily illustrated with comparative images to aid the technician in quickly identifying the parasite and life cycle stage. In Large Animal Parasitology Procedures for Veterinary Technicians, readers can find information on: The definition and economic importance of parasitisms, details on the epidemiology of parasitic enteritis, including basics of protozoology, helminthology, and overall applied veterinary parasitology Sample collection and shipment of specimens, including collection, storage, examinations, and interpretations Fecal examination using the Modified Wisconsin Sugar Flotation method, compared with gross examination, smear, sedimentation, and other flotation techniques, plus a fluke egg recovery technique and the Baermann technique for lungworm larvae recovery Internal parasite diagnosis and worm egg recoveries, descriptions and pictures of nematode parasite eggs (as well as coccidia oocysts), plus tapeworm eggs and fluke egg descriptions and photos for a variety of host animals Illustrating commonly used diagnostic tests in veterinary parasitology, with step-by-step instructions for accuracy, Large Animal Parasitology Procedures for Veterinary Technicians is an essential reference for veterinary technicians and veterinary technician students dealing with domestic animals, including horses, ruminants, swine, poultry, and hoofed wildlife.
