Laboratory, 1962

Description

Annual Report 1962. Caption: One of the costliest, and perhaps the most sensitive, pieces of equipment is the electron microscope. One of the mainstays in the department of pathology, the electron microscope is an essential research instrument, particularly in the examination of biological specimens. It is capable of directly magnifying an object up to 200,000 times its original size, and is located in a special dust free room with controlled temperature and humidity. Cost of the microscope alone is around $40,000.
