A method is described for determining the absolute sensitivity of a grazing-incidence spectrograph. This makes use of an x-ray source of discrete K-lines, the intensity of which is monitored by a flow proportional counter, acting as an absolute photon flux detector. Experimental results are given for Ilford Q2 emulsion used with a two-metre 600 lines per mm platinum coated blazed grating at an angle of incidence of 88°. The resultant curve compares well with a relative calibration obtained by using the radiation from a 335 MeV electron beam in a synchrotron.

A vacuum thermobalance with symmetrical hang-down and furnace system for samples between 0·1 and 500 mg is described. Flow of nearly every corrosive gas at any constant pressure in the range 0·1 torr to 1 atm can be applied. Zero drift is below 1 μg from 20 to 900°C. As examples of the application are mentioned the reactions in hydrogen chloride atmosphere of tris(ethylendiamine)-and tris(trimethylendiamine) chromium(III) chloride under formation of cis- and trans-dichloro complexes, respectively.

Small globe thermometers, about half the diameter of the normal (15 cm) instrument, equilibrate quickly and are useful in assessing mean radiant temperature in restricted surroundings. The reduction in sensitivity is not serious. Relations are derived that allow the radiant and convective components of the heat exchange of spheres of different sizes to be predicted.

Modifications and readily assembled accessories are described for converting the manually operated photoelectric Fisher Autocytometer blood cell counter into a versatile automatic sampling and recording monitor for following growth curves in axenic unicell populations. Three versions of this equipment have been developed, between them covering a wide range of cell densities extending from a few dozen to 500 000 cells per ml. A batch sampling system is used for handling very low cell densities, continuous sampling with autodilution is used for high cell densities, and a recently developed model, in which the sample is pumped continuously through a sterile counting loop and returned to the parent culture, is suitable for use with very small culture cuvettes.

Recent experiments on the interaction of proton beams with solids have shown that the regular variations of intensity in the spatial distribution of the scattered beam was dependent on the regular nature of the crystalline lattice. This phenomenon has been exploited in an apparatus which may be applied to the orientation and examination of single crystals and thin crystalline films. In the proton scattering microscope to be described, a beam of protons is directed on to the crystal under investigation and the scattered beam is observed directly on a fluorescent screen.

The results of a detailed calibration of a Jem 7, high resolution, electron microscope operating at 100 kv are reported in this paper. Three types of measurements have been made: (i) magnification as a function of intermediate and objective lens currents; (ii) camera constant and its dependence on objective lens current; (iii) relative rotations between the object, image and diffraction pattern. These data are sufficiently complete to satisfy the requirements of detailed, analytical, diffraction contrast experiments.

Equations are derived which relate the instrumental linewidth in a back-reflection focusing camera (used in the study of polycrystalline materials) to the displacement of the x-ray source from the focusing circle along a diameter passing through the specimen centre; the two-dimensional problem is solved by assuming that the source is negligibly small but that the sample is finite.
