Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the American Microscopical Society, Vol. 28: Twenty-Ninth Annual Meeting, Held at Ithaca, New York, June 29 and 30, 1906 No more timely subject, it seems to me, can be discussed in a presidential address before the American Microscopical Society than the origin and development of the projection microscope, since by the universality of the electric light many can make use of this most potent means of illustration. When the task was begun it was not thought that the trail would lead so far back into the past nor be so obscure and difficult to follow. In following up the trail it becomes increasingly evident that the records of human achievement are secondary records only.
