Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

I'm surprised thias article hasn't raised any comments.
I'm not a microscopist, but I don't know anywhere else to go to see photographic illustration of this standard.
Plate 15 is my favourite.
With the explanations of techniques and equipment adding to the article's bio-mechanical content, it's obligatory to read it!

Fascinating and informative article with some great photographs, deploying a range of techniques and magnifications on a single specimen.
