Great care should be paid to the minute morphology / of each organism, not only in the host-plant but also in a variety of cultures, old and young, so that a body of knowledge more exact than we now possess shall be grad- ually accumulated for differential and systematic purposes. Careful drawings and photographs should be made. The Abbe camera is a great help in making drawings (fig. 121). For such study the Zeiss apochromatic lenses and com- pensating oculars can not be recommended too highly, particularly the 16 mm., with the 12 and 18 compensating oculars for studying the margins of colonies, and the 2 mm. 11. ap., with the 8 and 12 compensating oculars for the more detailed study of the individual rods. The writer has also made much use of the Zeiss 3 mm. n. ap. apochro- matic objective. The Zeiss screw, or filar, micrometer com- bined with a No. 12 compensating ocular (fig. 23) will be found very useful. For photographic purposes the projec- tion oculars or the 4 or 6 compensating oculars may be used. Robert Koch was entirely correct in saying: "A general use of photography in microscopic works would certainly have prevented a great number of unripe ;. Fig. *Fic. 18.—Bacterium camfcstre.
