I've been curious about tardigrades ever since I saw a picture of one. They are pretty amazing animals that are as close as you can get to indestructible, withstanding temperatures that would kill most other creatures.\" - Maureen A. Carr - 5 Star Amazon Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The discussion on microscopy is particularly good -- especially the section about depth of field, and the comparison of stereo microscopes with compound microscopes. Indeed, even my college students and teachers in professional development classes sometimes have a difficult time grasping these concepts (higher mag is not always \"better\") Indeed, this book would be very useful for anyone interested in basic microscopy.\" - Karen Kalumuck - College Professor\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A wonderful guide. Clearly written as well as charming. My granddaughter used the book for an independent research project (2nd grade) and is now using it in her science fair project. Inspiring to budding young scientists.\" - Rona Ostrow - 5 Star Amazon Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael W.
