New Microscope May
Give Scientists View
Of Inside of Cells
San Francisco (IP
Scientists may soon be peering
into the inside of living cells,
thanks to an X-ray miscroscope
which can magnify an object j
10,000 times.
This possibility was raised
Wednesday by Dr. Albert V.
Baez, of the University of Red
lands, now a visiting professor
at Stanford. He spoke to the
California Division of the Amer
ican Cancer Society.
The new microscope lies be
tween the best visible " light
microscopes, which magnify up
to 2,000 times, and electron
microscopes, which can magnify
20,000 times.
Mar Penelrat Hard Shells
But neither visible light nor
electron beams can penetrate
hard shells and bony structures,
r.or can they reveal the inner
structure of metals. This is
where the X-ray microscope
may come in handy, Baez said.
With a collaborating group of
researchers in England, Stan
ford scientists have X-rayed the
innards of earthworms, fruit
flies, aphids, grasshoppers, blood
cells, frogs' kidneys, and plant
leaves.
Baez and his colleagues have
perfected a method of hooking
up a camera to the apparatus so
that movement within a cell
can be followed.
The interest of the American
Cancer Society stems from the
fact that cancer is a wild and
uncontrolled expansion of what
were once normal cells. The
X-ray microscope may someday
let scientists see the actual
means by which a normal cell
becomes malignant.
Can't Predict Discoveries
"After less than 10 years of
work we cannot yet predict the
eventual discoveries which can
be made with X-ray micro
scopy," Baez said. "But the
prospects are exciting."
X-ray microscopy, he said
began only about nine years ago,
with the pioneering develop
ments of Dr. Paul Kirpatrick
and his associates at Stanford,
and Drs. V. E. Cosslett and W.
C. Nixon of the Cavendish Lab
oratory at Cambridge University.

Three of French
Quintuplets Die;
Two in Incubator
l Thursday, October 3, 1957
Toulon, France (IPI Three
of the Christophe quintuplets
died Wednesday night and early
today leaving only a tiny boy
and girl struggling for life in
incubators at the Foch hospital.
Two doctors and several nurs
es maintained a 24-hour vigil
over the remaining two in hopes
of preserving the fragile lives
for their parents who had been
childless for eight years.
The hospital reported the mo
ther, Mrs. Camille Christophe,
28, was doing fine.
Mrs. Christophe gave birth to
the quints three girls and two
boys at St. Michael clinic on
Wednesday. The babies, Weigh
ing about two pounds each, were
rushed to Foch hospital and
placed in incubators.
Mrs. Christophe, a small wom
an who once was told she was
sterile, had expected twins. The
babies were three months pre
mature. Doctors refused to predict the
chances for survival of the re
maining two babies.
Mrs. Christophe and her hus
band, Laurence, 33, had been
childless for the eight years of
their marriage. Both have, been

administration at Toulon, Medi

ago.
Part of Christophe's job is
paying benefits to persons who
have children. If all their chil
dren had survived, the Chris
ophes, who made about $200 a
month together, would have got-

The only survivors of quint
