Taking advantage of this fact, siedostopf au à zsigmondy have megaified strongly illuminated particles, and in this way have made visible the direction discs of specks of matter approaching molecules in minutentes. Their observations were made upon particles of gold embedded in ruby glass. From the known quantity of gold and the number of the discs, it was calculated that rach particle, with an apparent diameter of one millimeter, bad a real diameter of 1-50 000th of a millimeter, aud it was further shown that the limit of maguification would be 150,000 diameters. The greatest powers of this method would show a particle having ten times the diameter of a molecule.

By light- ing up the atomuch with X-rays the oporator is able to bring the magnet into contact with the metal at the point most suitable to enter the
