Microscopes The possessor of a microscope is wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of avarice, for under the lens of his magical instrument he may visit kingdoms beyond the sight of less fortunate individuals. He may peer into the interior of insects and examine the various processes of nutrition, circulation and respiration. He may place upon the microscope slide a drop of pond water and gaze in amazement at the teeming life revealed there. He may explore the inside of a twig or stem and marvel at the precise regularity with which nature has constructed it. He may delve into the past by examining fossil remains that give clues to the life that existed on this planet before the age of man. In short, no object of nature can be examined under the microscope without revealing a sight never dreamed of, beauties unsurpassed by anything to which the unaided eye is accustomed, secrets of nature impossible to comprehend by any other means. |
