Re: [Microscope] Are there any web sites or inexpensive books on use of microscope?

Hi Dora,

I have some on line on www.science-info.org
A good book on phogograpy is:
http://www.science-info.org/micro/docs/olympus/How%20to%20Improve%20Photography%\
20Through%20the%20Microscope.PDF
you should also pick up *Delly, John Gustav, and Eastman Kodak
Company*ISBN: 087985362X.
Title is *Photography Through the Microscope
*It runs $5 to $10 buck used and covers every thing but digital photography
well and no books I know have been published digital photomicrography yet.
I collect links on information related to light microscopes.

If you look thorough the files in www.science-info.org/micro/docs/
you will find several manuals bulletins, paper and such on different brands
of microscopes that may be of help.

Before you decide what to buy see a page i put tog eater for first time
microscopes buyer with my ideas and those of others.
www.couger.com/microscope/links/gcnewbuy.html
It is definitely slanted to used brand name microscopes form before 1970. If
you don't see the logic of buying 40 and 50 year old scopes will be glad to
discus it with you. You should be able to find a number of microscope
dealers in Austin with all the technology that moved there it should have
attracted several microscope dealers. With the current state of high tech
industry there are still a lot of bargains around. A local dealer is by far
the best for some one starting out.

Good luck
Gordon
