Quartz In Photography.

IL is well known that pure quartz glass possesses the property of trans hitting very abundantly the so called chemical rays Of light. by means of which photographic effects are pro duced and it has often been attempted to make photographic lenses of quartz alone. Unfortunately quartz also pos sesses the property of double refrac- ton, 90 that unless the opening of the lenses is very narrow good images are not produced. Recently French opt- clan, F. Morln. has succeeded in mak ing small photographic lenses of quartz glass. In which some of the difficulties have been avoided. and the lenses show great rapidity of action Still. the prob lem confessedly has not been entirely solved, and the new lenses are recon mended by their inventor only for spe. cial purposes. Astronomers are partieu larly desirous to obtain photographic lenses possessing the peculiar permea- bility to the actinie rays that character ize quartz.
