Vision in the Ultra-Violet | Nature


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT WITH regard to the discussion which has been taking place in NATURE recently1, the following observations may be of interest. In 1929, whilst working at the National Institute for


Medical Research, Hampstead, with T. C. Angus, in the course of which we used, incidentally, a double mono-chromator, and whilst we were fitting this up, we decided to try on ourselves how


far we could see into the ultra-violet. We decided that one of us could see the 3130, and the other could not see shorter than 3650 in the mercury spectrum. Another young physicist could see


3130 quite easily. An elderly man could only see 3650. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS
