...scientist at Canada's Ontario Research Foundation has found a convenient way to overcome the microscope's handicap; Physicist Eric J. Chatfield has devised an adapter system that enables the electron-microscope user to get three-dimensional images. His optical stereo, which he developed at a cost of only $25,000-less than the price of a typical electron-microscope-operates on an ingenious yet simple principle reminiscent of Hollywood's experiments with 3-D movies in the 1950s...
...obtain the two views that are necessary to create a three-dimensional picture, Chatfield added an extra magnetic coil to the electron microscope. The coil deflects the microscope's electron beam as it scans a target so that the microscope actually looks at the same object from two different angles. The separate images are fed into an ordinary color-TV set, which displays one view in red and the other in green; the set's blue circuitry, ordinarily needed to give the viewer a full spectrum of colors, is disconnected. When a viewer looks at the screen while...
...stereo system is so effective that the Canadian subsidiary of Britain's Cambridge Instruments Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of scanning electron microscopes, plans to market the Chatfield 3-D adapter in the near future for about $6,500 (the microscopes themselves run from $40,000 to $80,000). Chatfield's new technique might even be based on a bigger scale-as the basis for 3-D television...
Though there are distinct advantages to the cut and flare of capes (swooping into rooms, for example, is hard going in a traditional overcoat), the style has its drawbacks too. Says San Francisco Chronicle Fashion Editor Joan Chatfield-Taylor: "You have to do your swooping out of doors. In a store, you are sure to break everything in sight." Moreover, cape wearers would do well to stock up on small clutch purses: standard-size pocketbooks held beneath the fabric imply that the lady is either pregnant or a smuggler...
