Colloids And The Ultramicroscope

""Colloids and the Ultramicroscope: A Manual of Colloid Chemistry and Ultramicroscopy"" is a book written by Richard Zsigmondy in 1914. The book provides a detailed overview of the science of colloids and ultramicroscopy. Colloids are substances that are intermediate in size between individual molecules and larger particles, and they play an important role in many chemical and biological processes. Ultramicroscopy is a technique used to observe and measure very small particles, including colloids, using specialized microscopes.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of colloids and ultramicroscopy. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject, including a brief history of the study of colloids. The second chapter covers the physical properties of colloids, including their size, shape, and surface area. The third chapter discusses the chemical properties of colloids, including their behavior in different solvents and under different conditions.The fourth chapter is devoted to the theory of ultramicroscopy, including the principles of light scattering and the use of ultraviolet light to observe small particles. The fifth chapter describes the practical aspects of ultramicroscopy, including the design and construction of ultramicroscopes and the preparation of samples for observation.The remaining chapters of the book focus on specific applications of colloids and ultramicroscopy. These include the study of protein solutions, the behavior of colloids in electric fields, and the use of ultramicroscopy to study the structure of crystals.Overall, ""Colloids and the Ultramicroscope"" is a comprehensive guide to the science of colloids and ultramicroscopy, written by one of the leading experts in the field. It is a valuable resource for scientists and students interested in this fascinating area of chemistry and physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
