Originally published in 1980, this book examines the effects of ultraviolet radiation on the genetic material of cells and on cells' repair mechanisms.

Dr Spencer's account gives, in largely non-mathematical terms, a concise but rigorous explanation of the principles underlying the various forms of light microscopy. Although written primarily for undergraduates, the treatment is equally suitable for those preparing for professional examinations in microscopy, and for research workers seeking a better understanding of the microscopes they use.
