University Receives Electron Microscope An electron microscope, presented to the Department of Chemistry by the American Cyanamid Co. will allow re searchers to view minute particles by a stream of electrons instead of light. The microscope, which was presented last summer, normally magnifies 7000 times, but the detail of the photograph can be magnified 10 times more by optical means. This is enough magnification to see the molecules of protein or resin. It will be especially useful in the study of colloids and pig ments and other particles that are too small to be seen by a light microscope, according to Dr. Theodore Rochow, visiting re searcher, The machine was developed by RCA and operates on a prin ciple somewhat like that of a TV set. A picture of the object being studied is shown on a 2-inch screen. However, the contrast on the image is dif ferent from a normal picture. Much of the work in reassem bling the complex equipment of the machine is being done by a graduate student, Alan Nichols. Dr. Mary Willard, professor of chemistry, is responsible for the project. Rochow, research fellow at the Stamford, Conn. labora tories of American CyanaMid, is working with Dr. Willard for six months under a special grant from the company. The machine will chiefly for research hot uate students and in c with several govern tracts held by - Dr. Shapes, sizes and disti particles can he exami Electron microscopy lively new field.

Since a great deal of heat is generated in the machine, sub stances which vaporize easily can be viewed for only a short time. To compensate for this a film must be made simultaneously with the image. Also, the prob lems of cost and supply have limited its use. There are at pre sent about .1000 of the machines throughout the world.
