Review: Great microscope starter manual. - This inexpensive microscope starter manual will demystify the microscope for parents and children. This book is packed with useful information, logically thought out and visually presented with the young budding scientist, 10 to 14 years old in mind. Easily understood by my grandson of seven with my assistance. I very highly recommend.
Review: Great book for both tweens and up - This book is great with lots of pictures, interesting facts, and details. I bought this for my 11yr. old along with her microscope. It is really helpful and explains basic concepts in a way that is easily understood. This book is wonderful for her level or even higher for someone who may need a refresher on the microscope and some basic science. This is awesome for the little scientist within.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Timely reprint of the 1989 original
*by A***. on December 18, 2014*

Please note that this 2008 reprint is identical in every way to the 1989 version of the same title. So, if you are looking for more reviews, everything you see said about the "white cover" World of the Microscope applies here as well. I loved microscopes in school and have envied our science classes for years whenever the microscope unit came around, so I finally got myself some scopes (compound and stereo) about 18 months ago, along with nearly all the supplies I thought I might need (was confused on the dyes that would be helpful, so only picked up methylene blue as it was so easy to obtain). Alas, without a teacher to do the preparations for me, I found myself a little at a loss as to how to make my own slides. The Internet helped a bit, but I wasn't very successful with my first efforts and put my microscopes aside with some regret and a vague hope of working things out later. Then recently I came across the 1989 edition of this book in our library and had a look through it. Almost at once I decided that it might fill in some of the gaps in my knowledge (like how to properly use that hand microtome I bought!). Parts of the book are of no interest to me (e.g., who uses microscopes or how they work, the types of scopes and their parts, etc.), but the novice level information on stains, making sections, preparing various projects for viewing, culturing bacteria, and so on looks like it's just what I need. And yes, there was definitely good information about using a microtome (including how I could have saved money by making my own from scratch). Sure, all of this has got to be scattered around online, but I'm a book person, happy to have it all in one place and in reach when I want it (which is why I bought my own copy after the library one looked good to me). In conclusion, it's always a risk to write a review before fully using the item in question, but from the point of view of a would-be microscopist looking for a starting point, I expect to be very satisfied with this book, and believe others in my position might like it as well. Oh, and yes, it's definitely made for the children's market, not aimed at adults, but for my needs that's not an issue (and is maybe even a plus, as they don't assume knowledge the reader may not have).
