Summary "Section-Cutting" by Sylvester Marsh is a practical guide focusing on the preparation and mounting of microscope sections, with an emphasis on animal tissues, written in the late 19th century. The book aims to fill a gap in literature by addressing the challenges both novice and more experienced microscopists face when attempting to cut and prepare specimens. Its detailed instructions and methodologies are derived from the author's extensive personal experience. The opening of the manual introduces the importance of proper section-cutting techniques in microscopy, explaining that many interesting objects require precise slicing to reveal their structure under the microscope. It highlights the difficulties associated with preparing unadulterated animal and plant tissues, noting that special methods are often necessary to achieve suitable consistency for cutting. The text lays the groundwork for the subsequent sections that detail various methods for preparing different types of tissues, outlining both frequently used and specialized techniques that will aid readers in creating effective microscope slides.
