Abstract In a previous communication it was reported that certain polymers could be separated from mineral oil by a liquid chromatographic method. n-Heptane was used as the mobile phase and small pieces of thin vulcanized natural latex as the stationary phase. It has now been found that compounds of lower molecular weight can also be separated by this method. The use of rubber for the separation of compounds of low molecular weight was first described by Boldingh; he found it advantageous first to swell the rubber with a different solvent from that used as the mobile phase. The use of a crosslinked dextran (“Sephadex”) for separating compounds in aqueous solution has been described by Gelotte. Vaughan has mentioned the possibility of using crosslinked polystyrene beads for this purpose.

The earliest account of the contamination of electron microscope specimens by the deposition of carbonaceous material during electron irradiation was published in 1947 by Watson who was then working in Canada. It was soon established that this carbonaceous material is formed from organic vapours, and it is now recognized that the principal source is the oil-sealed rotary pumps which provide the backing vacuum. It has been shown that the organic vapours consist of low molecular weight fragments of oil molecules which have been degraded at hot spots produced by friction between the vanes and the surfaces on which they slide. As satisfactory oil-free pumps are unavailable, it is standard electron microscope practice to reduce the partial pressure of organic vapours in the microscope in the vicinity of the specimen by using liquid-nitrogen cooled anti-contamination devices. Traps of this type are sufficient to reduce the contamination rate to about 0.1 Å per min, which is tolerable for many investigations.
