Diamond Lens, Paperback by O'Brien, Fitz James, ISBN 1515106632, ISBN-13 9781515106630, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US FROM a very early period of my life the entire bent of my inclinations had been toward microscopic investigations. When I was not more than ten years old, a distant relative of our family, hoping to astonish my inexperience, constructed a simple microscope for me by drilling in a disk of copper a small hole in which a drop of pure water was sustained by capillary attraction.
