r THE LUMINESCENCE OF BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

A Symposium Volume of the American Association for the Advancement of Science

Edited by Frank H. Johnson, Princeton University

6 x 9 inches, 466 pages, 161 illustrations; author, genera and species,and subject indexes; bibliographies, clothbound

Retail price $7.00 AAAS Members' prepaid order price $6.00

This volume includes papers presented by some thirty leading investigators at a conference on

Luminescence in April 1954. Fundamental aspects of "cold light"-bioluminescence, fluorescence, phos-phorescence, and chemiluminescence-are considered in detail. The latest advances reported here em-

phasize the general significance of researches in this field and point to problems that are a challengefor future work. The range of material critically examined extends from the purely physical throughthe biochemical and physical chemical to the purely physiological and ecological. In addition to chemi-cally defined systems in solution, a wide range of organisms are considered, including green plants, bac-teria, fungi. Cypridina, fireflies, Gonyaulax and other dinoflagellates, and various higher animals. Animportant feature is a comprehensive survey and discussion of luminous organisms of Japan and theFar East.

This book is designed for all persons interested in thederivation and coinage of words, but especially for scien-tists who need new words for new concepts. The first 61pages describe how words are made and the remaining 891pages supply the materials and examples for making them.The comprehensive lexicon is a two-way arrangement ofEnglish and classical items combined in one alphabetic se-quience. Thus, classical roots, listed uinder appropriate Eng-lislh key words, canI be fouind readily by the wordmaker.

Since its puiblication in 1954 this hook has been acclaimedin many reviews in scientifie journals both here and abroad.Satisfied burvers and users have slhowered the auithor withletters of approval.

A SAFE, ECONOMICAL,EFFICIENT SURFACE HEATER

*ermal~~~~~~~~~~ffecrothrmuEEw±'I~K(i.±'j-

A heating tape used on experimental copper counter-low wing-packedcolumn, running at elevated temperatures.

A FEW EXAMPLES of how Electrothermal HeatingTapes can be used:

Electrothermal Heating Tapes consist of one or more fabric bonds of resistancewire, separated or bordered by bands of high-temperature-resisting glass fiberyarn. The width and length of the various tapes are carefully determined by thecurrent carrying capacity of the resistance wire. Temperatures of 400°C andover can be reached inside a glass tube of 2mm wall thickness.

THREE TYPES AVAILABLE1. UNINSULATED-Current-carrying resistance wires are in direct contact

with the surface to be heated. It is possible to look through this tape andit is of great value for research work when wound on a transparent surface.

2. INSULATED ON ONE SIDE-This tape is also applied with direct contactbetween the resistance wire and the surface to be heated . . . but heatlosses to atmosphere are greatly reducd by the addition of a layerof knitted glass yarn on one side.

3. INSULATED ON BOTH SIDES-This tape is composed of two insulationlayers with current-carrying bands in the center. May be safely wound onmetal making it specially suitable for heating steel tubes, valves, nozzlesand other conducting surfaces.

The tape is simply wound around the body to be heated, and is held in position byglass laces at both ends. A suitable control device such as a "Powerstat" orvariable autotransformer should be used with the tapes.

No. 55809-Powerstat, Variable Transformer, for controlling temperature ofHeating Tapes. Has input of 115V, 50/60 cycles. Maximum output rating 7.5amps. each $23.00

For years we have been working on theisolation of various compounds and concen-

trates. While our program is still far fromcomplete it is sufficiently advanced to offeryou a new tool of tremendous importance.

Since Sigma succeeded in purifying nucleo-tides to about 100%o, numerous enzyme sys-

tems have ceased to respond, indicating thepresence of trace impurities in the old grades.

Now we have concentrated, and in some cases

purified, these impurities, offering potent newreagents for further investigation.

A systematic approach to the selectionof concentrates and compounds that mightinterest you is offered in a series of dia-grams in process of preparation. Call us ifinterested.
