And now... Darkfield and more!

This latest release is more in line with the scope and purpose of this blog than the earlier "test" releases.

Those were limited in size and scope and were primarily introductory material. With this release we move forward into more substantive discussions; more technical and more detailed:

Optical Contrast Methods.

The contents of this release were taken from Volume II of the BETTER MICROSCOPY Combined Edition, the best-selling book of the Series. It covers Darkfield Microscopy, Phase Contrast Microscopy,  and Other Contrast Methods (Oblique, Rheinberg Color Contrast and Pseudo-phase).

The full-color rear cover photo set has been retained, illustrating the methods covered in the text. Photo details are listed in "Appendix I," the next-to-last page of the release.

Although this release runs to 30 pages (a bit much for online viewing!) the file size has been kept to under 2Mb, for easy download, and the page size has been adjusted to the US standard 8.5 x 11 in, for easy printing.

 I hope you enjoy this first "real" document release, and perhaps even learn "a thing or two" from it...
