We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Dr. Cecil E. Hall, of M.I.T., demonstrates tiny micro- scope specimen-holder as he lectures on electron microscopy techniques in RCA seminar at Camden. Evaporated gold enlarged 227,000 times. * I ^^t • <0> tf Electron Microscope Seminar I NTRICATE laboratory demonstrations of electron mi- croscopy techniques were seen by more than 60 persons simultaneously via closed-circuit television at a seminar held last month at RCA's Camden, N. J., Electron Micro- scope Laboratory. The three-day sessions, September 4 to 6, were de- voted to lectures and demonstrations of these techniques —in medical and industrial microscopy, specimen prep- aration and electron microscope operation. Dr. Councilman Morgan of the Columbia University Department of Microbiology, and Dr. Cecil E. Hall, Associate Professor of Biophysics at Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, participated in the seminar as guest lecturers. The group included more than sixty medical and industrial research microscopists and students, as well as some of the country's outstanding biologists and scien- tists, who were invited to view the potential of closed- circuit TV as a teaching medium for instructing large student groups in electron microscopy techniques. RCA electron microscope engineers and scientists conducted the seminar. Dr. Morgan discussed and demonstrated the latest advances in biological and medical microscopy tech- niques. Dr. Hall described and demonstrated advanced techniques relating to general industrial applications of electron microscopy. The electron microscope has achieved outstanding importance in medical, dental, scientific and industrial research and development. Its magnifications, which can be photographically enlarged by more than 300,000 times, are of particular use in solving the industrial 30 ELECTRONIC AGE
