III Anrn1gnluS
A foreign journal sSsssss hass. yoany
months since one of the most eminent u nv
ing microscopists expressed his conviction
that in the production of obiect-glasses with
one-twenty- fifth OF an inch focus the micro
scope had reached its utmost attainable limit of
perfection. He added that "iI appears impos.
sible to separate or define lines more numer-
Gus than ninety thousand in an inch, on ac-
count either of the decomposition OF light, or
some other cause. It therefore seems beyond
our power ever to discover more of the ulti-
mate composition Of bodies by means of the
microscope" 1t Is always foolish to use such
fthus far and no farther" language in refer
ence to any department. of scientific research,
but it is not often that its fallaciousness has
been demonstrated within SO sholt q period as
in the present case. s.isx Asssose5hns
The above extract is taken from journa
dated Dec. 10, 1854; and yet, already, the one
thing which micropistists are now talking
about is an object-glass with one-6ftieth OF an
inch focus, recently made by Messrs. Powell
& Lealand, which was described to the Royal
Society by DIR. Lionel Beale the other day, and
was exhibited at the annual convocation oi
that Society short time since. This object
glass possesses double the power OF the one
which we were so lately told, and by 30 great
an authority, was the most powerful we must
ever expect to possess, and defines with won
derful distinctness particles which the latter
cannot render visible. at all. 1t magnihes

parlance, one thousand five hundred and sew
