AID TO SURGERY
A NEW INSTRUMENT LONDON) September 3. The medical correspondent of tho “Daily Mail” states that a new “directvision” microscope, which it is expected will expedite- operations, has been installed at Westminster Hospital. It is called the “ultropak,” and contains a silvered cone, incorporated in *a lens, which throws light from a special electric bulb, permitting direct microscopical examination of t ssues, instead of by transmitted light, as with the ordinary microscope. Thus, while formerly an operation for a tumor often necessitated ten minutes’ delay for examination after the tumor had been exposed, the “ultropak” enables the pathologist to give a. diagnosis in thirty seconds.
