The "INCANDANODE" TUBE

(so called because it works all day with the Anode RED HOT). This Tube ran from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for five days at the Leicester meeting of the B. M. A. last July, The Anode was incandescent the whole time, but the Vacuum was fully maintained. One Tube will last for years. The Vacuum is easily adjustable.

SPINTHARISCOPES.

(As devised by Sir WM. CROOKES.)

Showing the Scintillations of Radium. Fitted with powerful Lens, and contained in neat Leather Case.
Price 15- Post Free anywhere.

The scintillations seen in this instrument are from Pure Radium Bromide of the highest known activity, and are brighter and more plentiful than those produced from Pitchblende or any other radio-active substance.

See letter from Prof. Gotch on "The Spinthariscope and Retinal Excitability" (NATURE, June 22, 1905, page 174), setting forth a valuable scientific application of the instrument.

[blocks in formation]

Is the best All-round Lens for either Professional or Amateur use.
Each lens will give perfect definition with full aperture to the extreme corners of the plate
it is sold to cover; with smaller stops it will cover at least two sizes larger, giving perfect sharp-
ness all over the plate, and thus becoming a wide-angle lens of the highest excellence. Either
combination may be used separately, giving foci of about 1 and 2 times the length of that of
the lens when used intact. The advantage of thus being able to choose the best point of view,
irrespective of distance, will be at once apparent to the artistic worker.

EQUIVALENT TO FOUR LENSES AT THE PRICE OF ONE.
Eleven Sizes are now ready, from 3 to 18 inches eq. focus.
