Description
Excerpt from An Atlas of Bacteriology: Containing One Hundred and Eleven Original Photomicrographs With Explanatory Text
Bacteriology is so recent a science that from its infancy it has been able to record by the aid of photography the forms and characters of the microorganisms discovered, and the pathological changes produced by them in the tissues. At an early date Koch insisted on the value of a photographic record as a convincing proof of the reality and accuracy of the descriptions. For the most part, proof of this kind is no longer needed, but more and more has photography taken the place of the diagram or the drawing. It is in Bacteriology that illustration by photography is perhaps more satisfactory than in any other branch of pathology. Numerous are the excellent illustrations occurring in works on this subject, but these plates, even when not deprived of some of the excellence of the original negatives by the process of reproduction, are generally scattered and fragmentary records of particular appearances.
