download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Erwähnenswert ist die Ergonomie des M 10 Durch den zwischen 10 und 50° verstellbaren Einblicktubus wird ein ermüdungsfreies Arbeiten gewährleistet, und die gefürchteten Kreuzschmerzen können vermieden werden Die Weitwinkel-Brillenträgerokulare 10x/21 bieten viel Platz zum Arbeiten mit Brillen Die Dioptrien sind von plus bis minus einstellbar Dem Rezensenten selbst ist es jedoch bisher nicht gelungen, mit Brillen zu mikroskopieren oder Mikrosektionen durchzuführen, aber vielleicht gelingt es mit dem M 10 Viele entomologische Untersuchungen erfordern Arbeit mit Durchlicht Das große Durchlichtstativ 12 V, 100 W bietet ein vollkommen gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtetes und ausreichend lichtstarkes Bild, das auch für die Fotografie stark genug ist Zur fotografischen Dokumentation steht der Fotoautomat WILD MPS 46/52 zur Verfügung und erfüllt alle Wünsche Das Mikroskop ist mit einem sehr reichhaltigen Zubehör kompatibel und für ausnahmslos alle entomologischen Arbeiten einsatzfähig Was läßt dieses Angebot noch zu wünschen übrig? Entomologen führen unter einem Stereomikroskop vorwiegend Mikrosektionen durch, wobei beide Hände während des ganzen Präparationsvorganges ununterbrochen tätig sind; ob die beim Operationsmikroskop schon lange übliche Fokussierung über ein Fußpedal auch im Durchlichtstativ verwendet werden kann? Es ist wahrscheinlich, denn technische Probleme sind nicht vorhanden Der Preis für so eine Ausrüstung ist der Leistung entsprechend Gerfried DESCHKA REMANE, R., WACHMANN, E (1993): Zikaden kennenlernen, beobachten - Naturbuch Verlag, 288 S., 271 Farbfotos, 18 Strichzeichnungen 288 Seiten, die dem Laien eine Insektenwelt erschließen, wie er sie noch nie zuvor gesehen hat: Das Reich der Zikaden In südlichen Ländern weisen diese Hemipteren durch ihr abendliches Konzert auf ihre Existenz hin, in unseren Breiten leben die meisten Arten versteckt in der Krautschicht von Wiesen, Mooren oder auf Bäumen und Büschen Und dabei ist es mit wenig Mühe verbunden, diese winzigen Wunderwerke der Natur zu beobachten: Einfach gemütlich am Rand eines sonnenbeschienenen Wiesenhanges hinsetzen und einige Minuten völlig ruhig verhalten Auf einmal beginnt es rings herum zu hüpfen und zu krabbeln Am Grashalm sitzend, hervorragend getarnt und doch oft prächtig gefärbt wagen sich diese Pflanzensauger langsam aus der dem Beobachter abgewandten Seite des Grashalmes hervor und zeigen ihre ganze Pracht Es ist das Verdienst der Autoren, durch den präzisen und verständlichen Text sowie die ausgezeichneten Farbfotos den Laien für diese stille, kleine Welt zu begeistern Mit dem vorliegenden Buch wurde eine weitere Lücke in der Präsentation unserer heimischen Insektenwelt geschlossen M.CARL WARD, P.D (1993): Der lange Atem des Nautilus - Spektrum Akademischer Verlag, 200 S., zahlr S/W-Fotos und Abb Der heute in den dunklen Tiefen des Pazifik lebende Nautilus hat ebenso wie der erst in den dreißiger Jahren dieses Jahrhunderts entdeckte Quastenflosser im Indischen Ozean die großen Katastrophen der Erdgeschichte überlebt Die damaligen Zeitgenossen dieser seit Darwin als lebende Fossilien bezeichneten Organismen sind seit Jahrmillionen ausgestorben und in ihren ehemaligen Lebensräumen nur noch als steinerne Zeugen 398 © Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at erhalten Der Autor nimmt uns mit auf eine spannende Reise, die den Spuren der lebenden Fossilien folgt und damit auch ein Stück unserer Vergangenheit erhellt Durch Untersuchung der lebenden Zeugen längst vergangener Zeiten gewinnen wir einen Eindruck davon, wie die ausgestorbenen Tiere aussahen und wie sie lebten Der Leser durchreist so im Zeitraffer die unvorstellbar langen Zeiträume des Entstehens und Vergehens der Arten im Laufe der Erdgeschichte M CARL HOHENBERGER, E (1993): Heil- und Gewürzkräuter - Naturbuch Verlag, 96 S., ca 100 Farbfotos, Zeichnungen und Skizzen Wie bringt man Heil- und Gewürzkräuter in einen fertig angelegten oder neuen Garten?
