[Histonet] book & web site recommendations

[Philip Oshel]

Listers,

I got a few answers from my request for class text recommendations. 
Several people also mentioned the plethora of websites with basic 
light microscopy information useful for introductory classes, so I've 
included a few of my bookmarks.
It was nice to find the AFIP Methods manual still available, although 
Kiernan's text isn't. (Arg!) Foster's book "Optimizing the Light 
Microscope ..." is also out of print, although she still has a few 
copies left (there may be a new edition sometime, possibly).
A major criterion was expense. There are lots of books available for 
$80 to $100 and more, a few of which cover both the basics of light 
microscopy and microscopes *and* microtechnique, but there are very 
few of these in the light microscopy realm. Unlike the EM world.
