{"product_id":"9789814338042","title":"Under The Microscope: A Brief History Of Microscopy: A Brief History of Microscopy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight and the Ancient Greeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Microscopies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Microscopists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolarized Light and Crystals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Polarizing Microscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflected Light Microscopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticles and Waves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Electron Microscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Scanning Electron Microscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical Composition from Microscopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScanning Probe Microscopies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic Microscopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuture Microscopies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Science undergraduates and general readers.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185281908976,"sku":"9789814338042","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814338042_p0.jpg?v=1763690780","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814338042","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
