About this book
Essays on the Microscope is a book by George Adams. A caption in the front matter reads Truth discovering to Time, Science instructing her Children in the Improvements on the Microscope. The text says that an extempore microscope may be formed by taking up a small drop of water on the point of a pin and placing it over a fine hole made in a piece of metal. The text says that Dr. Hooke describes a method of using the single microscope.
The text says that the dragon fly is of a ferocious and warlike disposition, hovering in the air like a bird of prey. The female of the cynips or gall insect, which has no wings, passes through no transformation, while the male, which has four wings, passes through the pupa state before it becomes a fly. A writer names the curculio imperialis, Brazil or diamond beetle, among the exotic insects that appear most beautiful in the microscope.
