Reviews

"The book was thoughtfully planned, the chapter authors well chosen, and the text and illustrations carefully prepared. I found the book not only invariably useful but often a pleasure to read. It will reward the attention of everyone using or pondering the usefulness of FPs, from novice to experienced investigator." -Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2014
