Ranzi (Milan) discussed his results onspecific induction by nucleic acid prep-arations from different organs.Two special systems were then taken

up in greater detail-the embryo of thesea urchin and the hemoglobin-synthe-sizing system. S. Spiegelman showedsome new approaches using both invitro systems and hybridization tech-niques. P. R. Gross (Providence) dealtmainly with early protein synthesis inthe embyos and its activation. This lat-ter problem, especially from the pointof view of activation and controls, wasdiscussed by A. Monroy (Palermo), M.Nemer (Philadelphia), J. Runnstrom(Stockholm and Naples), and A. S.Spirin (Moscow). The last session wasdevoted to the synthesis of hemoglobin,a subject which has recently contribut-ed much to the progress of our knowl-edge of the mechanism of protein syn-thesis; the discussion was led by P. A.Marks (New York) and C. Baglioni(Naples).The sponsoring institutions were the

Italian National Research Council, theInternational Union of Biological Sci-ences, and NATO. It is hoped that thistype of interdisciplinary discussion canbe resumed at a second internationalworkshop, planned for the spring of1967 in northern Italy.

Built-in recorder monitors true linear absorb-ance in two ranges; 0 to 0.5 and 0 to 2.5.Unique design eliminates need for base linecompensation.Automatically controls a fraction collector todeposit each UV-absorbing fraction into aseparate collecting tube.The ISCO Model UA is the only UV monitor with a band-width so narrow that it conforms rigorously to Beer'sabsorption law, and does it without changing wave lengths!Bandwidth is so narrow* that precise quantitative resultswill be obtained if the flow stream absorbs any light at254m,t, regardless of the wavelength of maximum absorp-tion. Other ultraviolet analyzers operating at a fixedwavelength have so wide a bandwidth (even though morethan 95% of their light may be at 254 m,u) that they shifttheir maximum response to other wavelengths at higherabsorbances. They can only detect the presence, not thequantity, of UV absorbing fractions.

gives you significant new performance advantages in chemical, mineralogicalor petrographic studies. Here are a few particular'examples:ANALYSIS OF POLARIZED LIGHT- no other polarizing microscope givesyou facilities as complete as those designed into the Vickers for thequantitative analysis of polarized light. The swing-out polarizer is graduatedand rotatable through 3600. The analyzer unit is rotatable through 1800.Compensators maybe rotated through900 and provisionis made for rotationeither independ-ently or linked withanalyzer rotation toa precision of 0.1gWith this facilityyou can, for ex-ample rotate a sim-ple mica compen-sator below theanalyzer, eliminating the necessity for an expensive insertable "ellipticcompensator". v Compensators and graduated wedges may be insertedand read either in the analyzer unit, or just above the objective back lens(where graduations on a quartz wedge can be read over the interferencefigure) or, by using the Wright slotted ocular, above the Bertrand Lens. Inthis position compensators can be used equally well on the specimenimage or its interference figure. In a few words, the Vickers design enablesthe most precise and convenient execution of all analyses, from the simplestto the most sophisticated. v MICROSCOPE STAGE -the new ball-bearingstage is built to a new standard of smooth, easy motion, stability andprecision operation. This is achieved by a unique manufacturing me'thodinvolving preparation of the ball-race bearing surfaces by optical lens

working techniques. FLAT FIELDPERFORMANCE - the Microplanflat field objectives can be suppliedstrain-free in magnifications of lOx,20x and 40x. This is the widest avail-able range of strain-free, speciallycorrected objectives, giving youwide, absolutely flat fields of viewfrom 50x to 700x. v These ex-amples are only examples -there isso much more which deserves yourconsideration, -other optical andmechanical design features, the widerange of models for research and

s routine applic-ations, the unequalledselection of special accessory equip-ment. Our catalog tells the wholestory. May we send it to you?
