...June 6). In the issue of the British journal Nature which reached the U. S. last week was a picture taken by Professor L. C. Martin of London's Imperial College which showed a germ called Micrococcus flavus magnified 16,000 times. Last week in Richmond, Dr. Vladimir Kosma Zworykin of RCA Manufacturing Co. showed fluorescent-screen projections, made with his electron microscope, of tungsten crystals in which the molecules themselves could be distinguished in the molecular structure...
...upon to hit any particular target. Radiomen are appalled at the cost of setting up a network of ultra-short-wave stations, piping programs from station to station by cable or ordinary short-range radio-relay links. Last week was announced the invention by RCA's Inventor Vladimir Kosma Zworykin of a system designed to eliminate such costly cables...
...Patent Office as an autonomous organization. Lionized were six famed inventors: Orville Wright; Simon Lake, pioneer submarine experimenter who is currently trying to salvage $4,000,000 in gold from the hulk of an old British frigate at the bottom of New York's East River; Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, RCA-Victor television ace; William David Coolidge, General Electric's No. 1 x-ray researcher; Lee De Forest, inventor of the audion radio tube; and Leo Hendrick Baekeland, inventor of Bakelite...
Apparatus. The two rival electronic scanners which have left other rivals behind are the Farnsworth dissector tube and the iconoscope developed by RCA-Victor's famed Vladimir Kosma Zworykin. Both are good enough to transmit 6-by-8- in. images with the clarity of oldtime cinemas. The pictures are, in effect, divided into hundreds of horizontal lines and scanned line by line; 24 to 30 complete pictures are transmitted in a second...
Last summer the skilled hands of RCA-Victor Co.'s Dr. Vladimir Kosma Zworykin fashioned the closest known approximation of the human eye (TIME, July 10). Designed for television, the device was called the iconoscope. On 20 square inches of mica were 3,000,000 dots of photosensitive material. Light falling on the mica set up an electromagnetic tension which was discharged by an electron beam. The changing pattern of this discharge could be transmitted by radio. At the receiving end the image was reproduced on a fluorescent screen by a reversal of the iconoscope's operating principle...
