THE PROJECTOMICROSCOPE.
An apparatus designed to do away with much of the tedious and highly fatiguing microscopic work of the medical student has heen installed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London. It is the invention of a German firm, and consists of an inverted high-pow-er microscope arranged in connection with a powerful arc light. When a stained pathological specimen, mounted on a microscopic slide, is (placed on a framework, between the arc light and the microscope, a magnified image of the specimen is thrown on a white, screen. With the ordinary microscope a demonstrator has to describe a specimen in words, or draw a diagram, and then trust that the students, as each in turn peers down the instrument, . succeed in recognising the features he has described. Using the "projectoscope" Tie can point to the different structures, describing them as he goes a.!ong, while the members of the class gathered around the instrument see it all at the same time.
