treatment; for a fuller discussion of subject matter, the reader is provided with an excellent bibliography of 290 important original papers. This bibliography, together with the author and subject indices, makes this book a useful reference guide, although it does not meet the need for a text which covers the subject as thoroug.hly as V. Borries' "Ubermikroskopie."
For information on sample preparation, Professor Cosslett recommends that his book be supplemented by The Royal Microscopical Society's "The Practice of Electron Microscopy." This publication sometimes stresses cumbersome methods, which Cosslett commendably circumvents through the use of physical plausibility arguments, thus enhancing the physical intuition of the microscopist.
"Practical Electron Microscopy," in the reviewer's opinion, should be on the shelf of every neophyte electron microscopist.
