Abstract
Microscopy has advanced at an accelerated pace in the past few years. So many papers have appeared that it is possible, within a reasonable space, to consider only those which have contributed to the improvement of the microscope, or provided new technics, and to indicate key papers showing new directions in microscopical investigation. With few exceptions, papers appearing from 1945-1948 are considered. Contributions made with the microscope that did not extend the method, such as staining technics and similar procedures have been omitted. Recent books on microscopy include de Gramont (1945), Oliver (1947) and Wredden (1947). The former is largely descriptive of the kinds of microscopy and their possibilities. Oliver gives simple and specific instructions with the whyfore for the beginner, and Wredden gives a more comprehensive treatment based on his experience in industrial microscopy. Parts of Bouwers (1946) and Johnson's (1945) books concern the microscope.
