Without them and without the recurrent outcry of an unspeakable musical score, La Fuga's every audience might find merciful numbness from what now is a laser ray of cruelly focused tedium...
...another, much of the new medical machinery is beneficial fallout from the miniaturization and precise measurement techniques learned by space-age scientists.

The resulting scattered light can be read for presence of bacteria. Because the process is so highly accurate, the cultures do not have to be nourished for days until they grow large enough...
