Excerpt from A Guide to the Microscopic Examination of the Eye Every Ophthalmologist who uses the microscope knows that the eye, in virtue of its peculiar form and composition, demands treat ment differing in many respects from that sufficient for organs which are more consistent and uniform in structure, and the precise relation of whose parts it is less important to preserve. There are, more over, certain processes which are adapted for the demonstration of ocular structures solely. Further, the technique involved in the division of the bulb calls for special consideration. Many important points are not discussed in the various excellent handbooks on microscopic work, and, although much may be learned from these regarding general methods, the eye, as a rule, is treated briefly. Here, for the first time, an attempt has been made to collect such matter as may prove specially useful to the Ophthalmologist. I am well aware that many workers possess valuable information on certain points, which it has not been my fortune to acquire. Perhaps this book may contribute to a general knowledge of what is most serviceable. Any suggestion will be gratefully received. At all events, this work is not a mere compilation; the methods described have in almost every instance been tested by myself.
