It mixes two liquid compo- nents, follows their change in monochromatic light absorption at selected wavelengths from 2500 to 8000 Angstroms, and records the change as a function of time on a storage oscilloscope. You can retain several successive traces for comparison, and photograph the CRT for a permanent record. The instrument measures sample volumes as small as 0.2 ml of each component. Built-in heat exchange coil and circulating pump permit operation at elevated or reduced temperatures when used in conjunction with readily available laboratory water baths. Instrument parts contacting sample are fabricated of stainless steel, Teflon, Kel-F, glass or fused silica, and are capable of withstanding a wide variety of component solutions and reaction products. MULTIPLE-USE VERSATILITY Modular design facilitates addition of new accessories and techniques as they become available in the fast-moving field of kinetic studies. The standard instrument measures absorption of visible light through a 20 mm light path. Standard equipment (price $10,800) includes mixing chamber, monochromator and light source, power supplies and electronics, circulating pump and heat exchange coil, storage oscilloscope and camera. Accessories and attachments expand capa- bilities for fluorescence, ultraviolet, and short path length measure- ments. Prices for partial or complete systems range from $4,900.00 to $11,835.00.

" . . . careful scientific argument laced with a dashof speculation. It is a heady mixture ... Sagan andShklovskii have explored, with great verve andabsorbing detail, what could lie outside us."

-John Davy, THE OBSERVER (LONDON)

"I doubt that any other authors in the world couldhave done as fine a job with this subject."

-Frank Drake, Director, AreciboIonospheric Observatory and former

Director, PROJECT OZMA

"Imaginative, comprehensive, and generally soundscientifically." -Fred L. Whipple, Director,

QUICKQUIZ

FORSAPIENT SCIENTISTS

Which of the- following statements is derived fromBradford's Law of Scattering?

a. Particles scatter at a faster rate in a vacuum than underpressure.

b. A small number of journals accounts for a major percent-age of the articles published in a specific field of science.,

c. 10% of the world's scientists write 50% of the paperspublished.

d. The circulation of a journal devoted to a particular disci-pline varies inversely with an ascendant curve of expiringsubscriptions.

An "impact factor" for a specific journal may be esti-mated by:

a. Dividing the number of times it is cited by the numberof articles published in that journal.

b. Counting the footnotes and references in that journal.c. Dividing the references it cites by the number of items

published in that journal.d. Multiplying the total number of pages by 8% of the totalnumber of authors published by that journal in a givenyear.

When we introducedthis camera, it was

nearly perfect.Now readwhat we've done inthe 30 years since.

The first Bolex H-16 16mm camera appeared In 1936. It wasthe most advanced camera of its day. It had such profes-sional features as automatic threading, film rewind, vari-able speeds, single-frame exposure and a three-lens turret.Although it was extremely popular, we decided the Bolexhad an even greater potential. So in the early forties, weadded a super-accurate frame counter. Later we includedthe Registrator Claw to make Bolex films the steadiest inthe world. And full reflex focusing and viewing. A variableshutter so you could fade, dissolve, and have greater con-trol over exposure. And a filter slot so you could use onefilter to accommodate every lens on your turret.

Today's Rex-4 has an improved reflex viewfinder, givinga full lOX magnified image. And a single-frame shaft forsynchronization with audio equipment. The Rex-4 acceptsa number of electric motors for shooting long sequences.And a complete range of lenses from lOmm wide anglethrough extreme telephoto, including macro and zoomlenses. Add the Vario-Switar 86EE zoom and the Rex-4becomes the world's only professional camera with fullyautomatic exposure control-with today's Rex-4 system,you can do virtually anything!Most of those original 1936 Bolex cameras are still in use.

That's how rugged our cameras are. Try our "improved"model-it may have taken us 30 years to do QurM>NINlCATANSIIIEit, but we think we've got the perfect cam-era at last. A copy of the Rex catalog will Ztell you all. Write Paillard Incorporated,1900 Lower Road, Linden, New Jersey07036.

within the Agency which will be responsible for all epidemiologicaland biostatistical activities, including the organization of intramuraland extramural research programmes. Such activities will include:

(a) the statistical control of multicentre investigations in environ-mental carcinogenesis,

(b) the control of those aspects of the Agency which require dataprocessing,

(c) collaboration in the organization of a programme of metabolicepidemiology in relation to cancer,

(d) collaboration with established institutions interested in cancerepidemiology,

(e) advising the Director on recent progress in his field.ENVIRONMENTAL CARCINOGENESISThe head of this division will be responsible for developing a

research programme with special reference to environmental carcino-genesis in man. Such a programme will include:

(a) the organization of suitably designed collaborative programmesto permit the detection and quantitation of environmental carcinogensin relation to specific cancer problems.

(b) the investigation of the effects of long-term exposure to smalldoses of carcinogens with special reference to total carcinogen loadand chronic toxicity,

(c) collaboration with established institutions and laboratories in-terested in environmental carcinogenesis, and the study of the pos-sible establishment of a computerized register of carcinogens.

(d) advising the Director on recent progress in his field.Further details regarding these positions and terms of- employment

Name one company that offers this manyplanchet counting systems.

Name two.Only Nuclear-Chicago gives you a total of

nine different automatic planchet counting sys-tems to choose from. There are systems fornormal counting (Models 4328 and 4330) orlow-background counting (Models 4332, 4334,and 4336) of 2-inch-diameter planchets. Andthere are systems for 1¼/4-inch diameter plan-chets for normal counting (Models 4338 and4340) or low-background counting (Models4342 and 4344).

That's nine unique combinations of planchetsize, background shielding, sample capacity,and data readout. One of these systems is sureto match your application-exactly. And eachsystem uses an efficient gas-flow detector that'suniformly sensitive up to the edge of the win-dow. Plus a heavy-duty, solid-state-logic sample

changer tlhat has extra capacity when add-onsample magazine extensions are used.

Besides this complete array of planchetcounting systems, we can also supply a fullrange of accessories-such as sample pans andcarriers, detector windows, and counting gas.To get detailed information on these systems

and accessories, consult your Nuclear-Chicagosales engineer or write to us. NUC:8-6-238
