This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 Excerpt: ...in the requisite positions to secure rigidity. The lantern is mounted at the extreme end, and the light, supplied from an electric arc of 30 amperes, is concentrated into a thin ray, or pencil, which falls upon the object to be photographed, through which it passes to the film. The illumination may be either direct--that is, it may pass in a straight horizontal line from the lantern--or it may be reflected by means of a mirror in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the instrument, or at right angles, as in the ultra-microscope. The principle adopted varies according to the subject under observation. The organisms contained in a drop of blood, for instance, are dropped on to a carefully cleansed glass plate, which is inserted in the microscope in the usual manner. At the opposite end of the bench is the cinematograph camera, which in this case is provided with extending bellows, as in the ordinary camera, for purposes of focussing. At the back of the camera is a small attachment whereby the bacteria, greatly magnified, can be focussed sharply and clearly upon the film. On top of the camera is mounted a small box containing the spool of unexposed sensitised film. When the contents of this are exhausted the box can be removed quickly and easily, and another charged film box substituted. The film drops from this box through the gate in the camera, and issues below into a second film box, which can be removed similarly when filled, to permit another empty case to be introduced. The mechanism of the camera itself is the same as that of the usual animated photographic camera, and it is operated in the same way, by the turning of a handle. For the purpose of absorbing the heat rays, which in the concentrated beam of light would kill the microbes within a short...

Seller's Description:
Good with no dust jacket. A very clean and readable copy, withdrawn from a library. It was bound in sturdy dark library buckram, and it appears only to have been checked out once. The interior is quite pristine. The book was printed on good-quality paper, which has age-toned but remains in sound condition. It was the practice of this library to emboss plates on the periphery with a lacy imprint of its name, no doubt to deter theft. The effect is not obtrusive, and all plates are present. Fast shipping world wide. The second edition of this title, dated 1923 by the librarian, is also available.; Ex-library.
