Introduction . . .

This is a brand new blog, by a brand new blogger. However, some readers may recognize this blog's title, taken from a series of books of the same name. Unfortunately, time has a way of gradually making printed material all too quickly outdated -- especially these days -- and so, this blog was created partly as an attempt to address that issue.

As we move forward from here on-going efforts will be made to transfer selected content from the Better Microscopy books series into this new format, not only to provide to provide more effective distribution, but also as a means for making timely additions and overdue updates to that material. In addition, much previously unpublished material is now planned to be released, including high-resolution color images.

The current plan is to aim for a content mix that is both interesting and educational -- perhaps even inspiring -- and which will address the needs and interests of a wide range of user levels, from beginner to semi-professional. With more decades of Microscopy experience than I care to admit, I hope I will be able to contribute something to others in terms of both knowledge and enjoyment.

I hope you find something of interest in new undertaking as it takes shape and gain much from its content, now and well into the future!

Just beware of the occasional attempts at humor...

Thanks for visiting!

Infinity Secrets – Pt. 2... (long overdue!)

This release is a continuation of the Sept. 25th post (Infinity Secrets – Pt. 1). This document describes additional methods for addressing issues with Infinity optics and Finite-to-Infinity transitions. It is not intended to be the last word on the matter but merely and indication of the types of possibilities which exist.

Efforts have been made to minimize the depth of technology discussed in order to broaden its appeal. Further releases will explore additional, more practical issues concerning both Finite and Infinity systems.


I hope you enjoy this latest release and find at least some of it useful!
