This book takes the reader on a visual journey of the microscope and shares exciting stories about its development and the new technologies that exist that renders the invisible visible. The book begins with the history of microscopy and follows with the basics of various types of microscopy: brightfield, widefield, confocal, transmission electron, and scanning electron. All chapters feature stunning visuals. The history of the microscope is illustrated with paintings in the style of tattoos by tattoo artist Yingfayang tattoo, and the later chapters pair computer designed images and photography to stunning effect, passing on to the reader an appreciation not only for the scientific possibilities of microscopy, but also its artistic possibilities.
