Abstract
ATTENTION has been directed by Young and Roberts1 to the advantages of utilizing the flying-spot technique for the production of absorption images of living cells at 2600 A. These advantages are the immediate visual presentation of the image and a great reduction in the amount of ultra-violet radiation necessary for the production of the image, the latter advantage being due to the much greater quantum efficiency of photocathodes over photographic emulsions.
