Great manual for the laboratory... Lack of pictures is the main detraction from this product. Only a few pages of color photos.

This review is from: Laboratory Experiments in Microbiology (9th Edition) (Spiral-bound)

this is a rather extensive lab notebook. well written and contains a lot of extra information about the procedures that may not be found in a lab book itself. also contains appendices in the back on various equipment use like spectrophotometer and membrane filters.
