...enable conservationists to check traces of water pollution in fish. Its products helped in the creation of the first atomic bomb, also made possible the production of synthetic penicillin and vitamin B12. All of these tasks-and many more- are the business of a little-known Connecticut company named Perkin-Elmer Corp., one of the fastest growing members of the fast-growing scientific instrument industry. Variety has paid well for Perkin-Elmer: last week it reported its tenth straight year of record sales ($66.7 million, up 17%) and its eighth straight year of record profit...
...Family. Wilson won scientific credentials aplenty - a B.S. from M.I.T. (1916), an M.I.T. associate professorship in chemical engineering, 90 patents for petrochemical inventions, 120 scientific papers. But even more winning was his impact on other men. Presenting him with the Society of Chemical Industry's Perkin Medal in 1943, American Chemical Society President Thomas Midgley Jr. couldn't help recalling an 1895 picnic in Beaver Falls, Pa., where both he and Wilson were born.

...PERKIN-ELMER of Norwalk, Conn., began in 1944 turning out chemical analytical spectrophotometers, which are used to study the infra-red spectrum of molecules. Since each molecule shows up with unique characteristics in infrared, spectrophotometers are vital in chemical research, have played an important role in identifying synthesis of drugs and vitamins. Perkin-Elmer also makes among other things a spectrometer for the Air Force that measures the efficiency of missiles in flight. Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute for cancer research uses Perkin-Elmer spectrophotometers for organic chemical analysis...
