A drop of pond water is a menagerie once you know how to look. Griffith's manual teaches the mounting of objects, then guides the lens across vegetable tissues, ferns, mosses, and algae, cell by cell. Practical technique meets a tour of the miniature living world. Set your slide, focus the barrel, and see what the naked eye misses.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
