The Evolution of the Microscope covers some of the features of the history of the microscope and the rationale of the design features found in microscopes. The book discusses the first microscopes, the compound microscope in England (1650-1750), simple or single-lens microscopes, and the development of the achromatic microscope. The text also describes the microscope in Victorian times as well as the optical microscope since 1880. The search for greater resolving power such as the ultra-violet and electron microscopes is considered. Scientists and microscopists will find the book invaluable.

I hope this book will prove useful to all who read it. When you examine a life closely, the positive events clearly outweigh the negative ones. I want to share my story primarily with my children, grand-children and great-grand-children. My journey is a part of their history. This is a story of a “negro” as we were called at the time, brought up in poverty and motivated by the desire to make my parents proud of me and to attempt to reach my full potential in life as a citizen of the United States. My life will be divided into three major eras. The period from my birth in 1929 until 1948 when I went into the military, the twenty years I served on active duty in the United States Navy until 1968 and remained in the reserves until 1978, and the period of my civilian employment with a major defense contractor until I retired in 1991 and life in my retirement years.
