...Haven schoolchildren, "protected" against germs by ultraviolet lamps, got sick as often as "unprotected" kids...
...Westinghouse put on the market a tiny electric lamp (3½ watts) which destroys dampness, mildew, smoke, cooking and perspiration odors by "exploding" the odor molecules with ultraviolet radiations, liberating ozone. Westinghouse claims the lamp is thrice as powerful as the bigger ozone lamp it introduced in 1945. Price...
...sure as yet what the new telescope will see in the sky. When tuned to 30-cm. waves, it may be able to pick out individual "flares" on the sun, which are believed to send out short radio waves as well as sharp bursts of light and ultraviolet. Such information should help in long-range weather predicting and in forecasting solar effects that interfere with radio communication...
...They patrol the neighborhood looking for new-opened flowers. Their big, compound eyes see well, but they do not see what human eyes see. Blind to red, a bee sees a clear red flower as grey. But at the other end of its color spectrum, a bee can see ultraviolet, to which human eyes are blind...
...series of these curves taken from successive slices of the image can be turned into patterns of light and shade, and built into a picture in ultraviolet of the still-healthy cells. But Dr. Barer is after bigger game. The curves show how much of the ultraviolet is absorbed by each region in the cell. These figures, in turn, give a strong hint of what chemicals are present in each of the cell's parts. Dr. Barer hopes that his apparatus will allow biologists to watch fragile, transparent cells as they live their normal lives and to chart...
