Johnstone, B.Sc, Ph.D, M.B, Ch.Bb(Leeds) F.R.M.S., A.R.P.S. he was known for his contributions to microbiology and specifically for his work on micromanipulation techniques involving bacteria. His book titled "Micromanipulation of Bacteria" is an authoritative resource in this specialized area of research. In this book, Johnstone discusses various techniques for manipulating microscopic organisms, including the use of a microforge.A microforge is a precision instrument used in biological laboratories to modify microtools under a microscope. It typically involves a heating element to melt and shape glass needles or other microtools, which can be used for handling microscopic samples such as single cells or bacteria.Johnstone's work and his book are significant because they provide detailed methodologies for researchers working with microorganisms, offering insights into handling, manipulating, and modifying microscopic life forms for experimental purposes. This has applications in various fields, including microbiology, cellular biology, and medical research.
WWI Military HeliographEnglish, c. WWI, engraved to the back 'HELIO 5" MK V T.B.S.' and to the tripod, 'STAND LAMP OR HELIO A MK III', complete in its original leather caseA heliograph is a device that uses the sun's rays to send coded messages over a distance. It's a solar telegraph system that uses mirrors to reflect sunlight in a pattern of flashes. Its principle of operation is based on the use of sunlight to transmit messages over long distances, making it an effective tool in areas where conventional communication methods were unfeasible.How the Heliograph Works - The core component of the heliograph is a mirror, typically mounted on a tripod for stability and maneuverability. The device uses Morse code to convey messages, leveraging the mirror to reflect sunlight towards a distant receiver. By adjusting the mirror’s angle in a precise and controlled manner, operators can produce intermittent flashes of light that correspond to the dots and dashes of Morse code.The heliograph’s effectiveness hinges on clear, sunny weather, as the primary signal medium is sunlight. An operator could achieve a range of up to 50 miles, conditions permitting, which was remarkable for the time. Some versions of the heliograph included secondary mirrors and sighting scopes to enhance targeting and accuracy over extended distances.Military Uses of the Heliograph - The heliograph was most famously employed by British forces during colonial wars at the end of the 19th century and into the early 20th century, including significant use during the Anglo-Boer War in South Africa. Its ability to facilitate long-range communication without the need for wires or electrical power made it invaluable in the vast, undeveloped expanses where many of these conflicts occurred.One of the key advantages of the heliograph was its security. The narrow beam of light produced was difficult for unintended recipients to intercept, making it ideal for coordinating movements and relaying sensitive information during military operations. Furthermore, the device was portable and relatively easy to operate, requiring minimal maintenance and logistical support.BUYER BEWARE: WE CANNOT SHIP THIS LOT, PLEASE ARRANGE COLLECTION OR OWN COURIER*We Recommend Pack & Send Oxford*
