This paper describes the processes through which All the world's a stage, the food microscopist develops hi s/her skills. It is based And all tbe men and women merely players: around a framework of Shakespeare's seven ages of They have their exits, and their entrances: man . The first stage is learning about equipment: how And one man in hi s time plays many parts, it works and how not to abuse it. Next, attention turns His acts bein g seven ages ... to how to prepare samples for examination whilst main­ taining the validity of the observations and avoiding Jacques in "As you like it" damage to the instrument.

It is also necessary to reali se that none of the stages is ever completed; there are always new things to learn about in struments, speci­ mens and relationships. Hence, th e seven ages represent th e times at which new, additional philosophical approaches are added to the microscopist's armoury.

We are now outside the area of scientific laws and into the field of human relationships. Each combinati on of microscopi st and technologist will need to find their own way of working and , from th e mi croscopist's point of view, different approaches should be tried until a sati sfactory relations~ip is established. For some people a clear diagrammatic representa­ tion of th e structure and highlighting key structural changes with respect to changes in the product will be sufficient.
