IOWAN FIRST
FOCUS RAYS
RESEARCH WORKER At. STATE
UNIVERSITY MAKES VALU-
ABLE DISCOVERY.

Iowa City. Oct. 10.-To research
worker at the State University of Iowa
has come the honor of being the first
person to focus X-rays. While X-rays
possess many Of the properties OF light
they are not capable OF being focused
by any kind of lens. The ingenious
Iowa discoverer is DR.. Elmer Dershem.
PRACTICAL VALUE.
This discovery may have 4 great
practical value in X-ray photography
and in further study Of the myster-
ious light itself The device used by
the Iowan in his discovery consists OF
q barrel shaped cavity in paraffin, open
at both ends and lined with mica. The
rays which enter at one end are pre-
vented from passing directly through
the barrel cavity by a proper sized
lead plate at the end nearest the
source of the X-ray.
In this way all the rays that pass
through. the cavity must be DETECTED
by the chrystalline sides OF the con-
cave barrel. The focusing OF them IL
accomplished by regulating the degree
of concavitY OF the barrel so that the
DETECTED rdys will meet at common
point outside the device. The principle
Ia very simple. but the mechanism IL
most delicate, physicists say.
HAS DOCTORS DEGREE.
The discoyerer received his DOCTOR
degree at the State university las'
summer and has accepted q position
on the teaching staff In physics at the
University OF Illinois.
