This volume describes the fundamentals of microscopic botany for beginners and advanced learners and provides an introduction to microscopic techniques. Botany, as the study of plants, is a subfield of biology that explores plants. It deals with the life cycle, metabolism, growth, and structure of plants, as well as their constituents, ecology, and economic benefits. The origins of botany trace back to the medicinal use of plants. The writings of Theophrastus from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC testify to an early abstract-scientific examination and systematization of the plant kingdom. This volume is illustrated with 128 black-and-white images. It is a reprint of the original edition from 1902.
