[Histonet] History of microtechnique

[MTitford <@t> aol.com]

David Muskett asks about where to find information about the history of microtechnique.
A good place to start is with "A history of microtechnique" by Brian Bracegirdle. The second edition is still available here in the States from Science Heritage Limited, Lincolnwood, IL
a second good book is "History of staining" by George Clark and Frederick Kasten. 3ed edition, Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore & London. The second book is probably out of print but available on interlibrary loan.
There are many other sources but you can get information overload in this area!
