Excerpt from The Microscopist's Companion, a Popular Manual of Practical Microscopy: Designed for Those Engaged in Microscopic Investigation, Schools, Seminaries, Colleges, Etc., And Comprising Selections From the Best Writers on the Microscope, Relative to Its Use, Mode of Management, Preservation of Objects, Etc
But the microscope does not terminate its utility here; it is equally necessary and useful to the geologist, the botanist, the min eralogist, the chemist, and the physician. To the latter in particular, it has demonstrated the minute structure of parts of the human system, which were previously altogether a mystery, and has assisted in a¿'ording a more perfect comprehension of the organic functions. The structure of the various parts of the system has, within a few years past, been thoroughly and correctly made known by the aid of this mighty instrument, so that no man can, at the present day, hold the title of a respectable physician, who is not conversant with its revelations. Nor has its value ceased with a knowledge of the healthy structure; it a¿'ords a certainty in the diagnosis or de tection of diseases, several of which cannot be correctly determined without it.
