USE OF COMPOUND
MICROSCOPE MOST
VALUABLE ASSET
Us Aa.oelatea Pre.~,

r GAINESVILLE, Fla, March IS.
Use of the compound micro
scope has come to be one of the
most valuable assets in the pro-
motion of various phases of
science, according to Ernst T.
Stuhr, instructor in pharmacology
and pharmacognosy in the college
of pharmacy at the University of
Florida.
From the making of the first
microscope in 1890 by L. Jansen,
a spectacle maker in Middleburg,
Holland, which was more of q
curiosity than an instrument of
value and then the making of the
first practical microscope in 1867
| by Robert Hooke, science has
made ready use of it and en-
deavored continually to improve
the instrument, says Mr.. Stuhr,
until today the possibilities of the
instrument is almost unlimited.
He points out that the compound
microscope is now used in the de-
lection of adulterated foods and
drugs, diseases and the source of
diseases and in the detection of
crime sources, clues and identifi-
cations.
