There is an additional book on the horizon that I would like to bring your attention to. Scheduled for release in late November/Early December to be published by Springer is a text on Basic Confocal Microscopy edited by Bob Price and Jay Jerome. While the emphasis is on confocal imaging many of the chapters, including fluorescence microscopy, specimen preparation, labeling strategies, digital imaging, and data reconstruction and ethics are applicable to a wide range and types of microscopy. The table of contents is provided below.
Table of Contents from "Basic Confocal Microscopy"
Chapter 1 Introduction and Historical Perspective
Chapter 2 The Theory of Fluorescence
Chapter 3 Fluorescence Microscopy
Chapter 4 Specimen Preparation
Chapter 5 Labeling Considerations for Confocal Microscopy
Chapter 6 Introduction to Digital Imaging for Confocal Microscopy
Chapter 7 Digital Image Capture for Confocal Microscopy
Chapter 8 Types of Confocal Instruments: Basic Principals and Advantages and Disadvantages
Chapter 9 Setting the Operating Parameters
Chapter 10 3D Reconstruction of Confocal Image Data
Chapter 11 Ethics and Resources
Glossary
The book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon

For transmitted light techniques, I would recommend Randy Wayne's book as well. The concepts are very well explained. For confocal there is none better than Alan Hibbs "Confocal Microscopy for Biologists". The name says it all.
Hard to get everything in one book.

Hi Jeff,
The book by "Douglas Murphy" has already been named. But I want to add
some interesting (new) books:
I enjoyed reading "Randy Wayne: Light and video microscopy" (Elsevier,
Academic Press, ) beacause I feel the optical principles are described
in more detail compared to Murphy's book. Also the "classical
techniques" (generating contrast) are described here to a greater
extent. Electron microscopy is missing though and for fluorescence
microscopy only the basics are described. Nevertheless it's a good new
alternative to Murphy's book.
Another very nice book is the review series "G. Slunder and D.E. Wolf
(eds.): Methods in cell biology, Volume 81: Digital Microscopy 3rd
Edition". Here you'll find a focus on modern techniques, as well as
(very) short introductions to microscopy basics. All chapters are
written by well known experts in the field and most of them are well
written and understandable when you start with some knowledge of video
microscopy.
For me the combination of the two books was a good choice. From the 2nd
book I use single chapters as student material and I recommend the first
one for general reading about microscopy.
Oh and before I forget: take at look at this PDF
http://www.olympusmicro.com/primer/opticalmicroscopy.html. It's free and
a comprehensive guide to microscopy. Of course it's kinda short while
covering many aspects, but maybe it's a good start.
Regards,
Roman

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive book (<$100, ideally) that will cover everything from brightfield to phase and from DIC to confocal microscopy. Extending into the realm of electron microscopy would be beneficial as well.
