HISTOSLIDE CAMERA FOR PHOTO-MICROGRAPHY
On a recent visit to a Chicago hospital we had an opportunity to observe the combined use of microscopy and photography in routine laboratory operation. The simplicity of the process is worth recording.
A number of microscopes were in use, each with its HISTOSLIDE CAMERA ATTACHMENT. The laboratory technician or the physician simply found what was wanted on the slide, swung the camera into position, snapped the photograph, removed the camera, and was ready for new fields of action. The taking of the photograph consumed as a rule much less time than it took to decide on what to photograph.
The camera is manufactured by HISTOSLIDE CO., INC., 542 Grant Place, Chicago 14, Illinois. The illustrations above and on the opposite page are taken from an attractive booklet obtained from the company who informed us that the price for the camera, complete with adaptors to fit any microscope, is $37.50 with tax included.
