Reddit mentions: The best microscopes & microscopy books

Those books are definitely geared toward materials science. If you're interested in the operation of TEM, though, it should be helpful. The physics behind the instrument don't really change. In a virology lab, you probably work at lower accelerating voltages, and you might not be doing atomic-resolution work, so those bits wouldn't apply to you.

This book is cheap and discusses biological applications, so it may be a better starting point. Some of the springer publications are nice resources, but they can be quite expensive. You might want to check your school library for any books you may be interested in. Also, some of these things can be found for free in PDF form if you search hard enough online.

Most of the books I've used to learn about TEM are for materials science or specifically STEM and Z-contrast imaging. Those types of resources may not be as relevant to you.

Well why would anyone want to spend more than two minutes reading Being and Time, much less two weeks?

The Scanlon thing fell apart because ADD and I chose an awful time run it, namely in the middle of the semester. That group may or may not start back up later this summer. As well, the Groundwork is a much less ambitious project. I think it's roughly the length of the first chapter of Scanlon, which we did finish, and both ADD and I have read it before.

ADD has suggested the edition by Hill and Zweig, but I've also heard good things about Mary Gregor's translation. Other big names in Kantian scholarship include Paul Guyer and Henry Allison, so if you have any of there stuff that's probably fine too.

Of course.

Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge and reality as an academic discipline.

The scientific method deals in a very logical and defined way with systemic documenting of reality as knowledge.

Philosophy of science has provided means to construct the scientific method, as well as to validate its foundations, implications, methods, and reliability. It in itself is the proto-scientific method.

If you need more proof that the scientific method was a result of philosophy, and also that the scientific method is impossible without some framework of the mind (philosophy of logic), then you are free to find it in books such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Scientific-Method-Historical-Philosophical-Introduction/dp/0415122821.

EDIT: Or the Descartes' writings that /u/Historybuffman recommended.

[This book](histology hacks https://www.amazon.com/dp/1979731772?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf) is a good reference for some tricks.

I prefer the brand new (2008) Zweig translation, with Tom Hill's comments. I find it slightly easier to read than Gregor's, with 183 pages of commentary at the start of the book, including argument analyses.
