In this part, with which the research closes, the author first examines the action of thin mica screens fixed on the fly of an ordinary radiometer, in modifying the movements. It is found that when a disk of thin clear mica is attached 1 millim. in front of the blacked side of the vanes of an ordinary radiometer, the fly moves negatively, the black side approaching instead of retreating from the light. When a thin mica disk is fixed on each side of the vanes of a radiometer, the result is an almost total loss of sensitiveness.

387. Although the general character of the reactions which cause repulsion under the influence of radiation is now understood, much light may he thrown on the subject by an experimental examination of the direction and strength of the lines of pressure inside the case of a radiometer on which light is allowed to fall. Radiation will pass almost unimpeded through a very thin, colourless and transparent substance such as mica, but molecular pressure or stress is arrested by such a body (232). By introducing fixed or movable screens in various parts of the case of a radiometer, the direction of pressure can be determined at will, and its force can be modified in many ways, whilst all the other conditions of the experiment remain unchanged. In the present Part I propose to give the results of a long series of experiments on the action of thin mica screens in modifying the movements of the fly of a radiometer; I shall examine the action of the residual gas, the action of the sides of the glass case, and the applicability of the information so afforded to the construction of instruments of greatly increased sensitiveness for the purposes of research and illustration; and I shall also describe other experiments which have been tried from time to time during the last few years—experiments which at the time were isolated in their bearings, but which now fit into their places.

The first satisfactory freeze-dry procedure for electron microscopy was described by Williams. An improvement permitted the shadowing of specimens in the same system where freeze-drying was accomplished. Our freeze- etch module is ideal also for the preparation of freeze-dry specimens and high-resolution specimens have been prepared by the 3 different procedures.Procedure #1: A particulate suspension in distilled water or a volatile buffer is sprayed onto a thin mica sheet held down with high vacuum grease to a flat-topped specimen cap clamped onto the specimen stage (all pre-cooled to −150°C). Freeze-drying is accomplished with a vacuum of 2 × 10−6 Torr and specimen temperature of −98 to −75° (approximately 15 min).
