title: Exercises and calibrations in biomedical photomicrography.
abstract: With this set of exercises a microscope user can learn to: Adjust the instrument to his or her individual vision. Identify and control the factors affecting colour slide quality. Select films, filters, and processes for good colour and black-and-white photomicrographs. Control exposure for various types of specimens and illumination methods. Estimate the exposure latitude of films and processes. Enhance specimen detail and depth of field. Secure sharp photomicrographs at all magnifications. Estimate and calibrate the magnification of images. Each exercise has a purpose, an instrumental and a photographic procedure, and criteria for the evaluation of the resultant photomicrographs. The most important exercises can all be done on one 36-exposure roll of colour film.
