AMINCO SPF-1000 HIGH PERFORMANCESPECTROPHOTOFLUOROMETERFeatures: High Resolution: 0.2nm withdigital readout; Bandpass of .2, .5, 1, 2,5, 10, 20 and 40nm. Monochromator wave-length range: 200-lOOOnm; Spectrum:starting wavelength of 200, 300, 400, 500,600, 700, 800 or 900nm and spectral widthof 100, 200 or 400nm may be selectedby front panel switches. Spectra may alsobe displayed as a function of wavenumber.Large up-front sample compartment. Ac-cessories are on adaptor plates for simpleslip-on mounting. Ellipsoidal CondensingSystem included. Unit accepts 500w xenonlamp. Solid-state blank-subtract Photo-multiplier Microphotometer allows use ofany side-on or end-on photomultiplier tubes.Photometer responds to phenomena havinglifetimes as short as 5 microseconds, al-lowing the SPF-1000 to be used as a precisephosphorescence lifetime instrument.

AMINCO SPF-125 A direct reading spectrofluorometerVesigned especially to perform standard fluorometricdeterminations. Two monochlomators for independent set-ting of excitation and emission wavelengths eliminate theguesswork and bother of filter combinations. Disc-mountedfixed slits allow resolution to be adjusted from 1.5 to 44nm; 85-watt high-pressure mercury lamp is utilized for itshigh intensity, line-source characteristics. Ideally suitedto standard procedures, clinical tests and teaching.'Otherfeatures include: parts-per-trillion sensitivity for quininesulfate; wavelength range of 200 to 800 nm, each mono-chromator; utilizes an S4 tube with a response beyond600 nm. SPF-125S available with Xenon lamp and auto-matic scanning capability.

AMINCO-BOWMANSPECTROPHOTOFLUOROMETER (SPF)This famous research "workhorse" per-forms either fluorescence or phosphores-cence studies by a simple interchangingof cell compartments. Sensitivity: one partper trillion, quinine sulfate, when excitedat 250 or 350nm. Resolution: less thanInm. Cell compartment and lamp housingprovide means to maintain optimum tem-perature for sample and lamp. Less Noise:low ripple power supply reduces arcwander. Energy-corrected Spectra Acces-sory compensates for spectral dependenceof components. Applications include: fluor-escence probes, enzyme assays, phos-phorescence studies, thin-layer chroma-tography, physical chemistry measurements.

AMINCO FLUORO-MICRO-PHOTOMETER Direct-readingFilter Fluorometer serves asa Turbidimeter, colorimeter,phosphorimeter, nephelom-eter and liquid-flow moni-tor and alarm. Permits rapid,quantitative sequential an-alysis of samples whoseluminescence characteristicsare known with printed ormeter readout. Solid-stateblank-subtract model providesfor adjustable voltage to thePM tube, ranging from 300to 1000v within 0.01%. Thesefeatures provide greatly in-creased sensitivity and sta-bility.

If Sweden has had to resort to DDTto control destructive forest insects, Isuspect they are not actively workingon substitute materials.

DONALD C. SCHMIEGEInsecticide Evaluation Project, USDAForest Service, Post Office Box 245,Berkeley, California 94701

. . . Predator insects in a normal bioticsituation, or in one unaltered to anygreat extent by man, are animals use-ful to man and these are known tohave been destroyed by DDT and otherpersistent chlorinated pesticides....Some animals regarded as useful to

man have, in certain areas, lost theirusefulness. One example is the cohosalmon of Lake Michigan: in a shortperiod during the spring of 1969 theFDA seized 35,000 pounds of thesefish because they were found to con-tain levels of DDT dangerous to man(Science, 23 May 1969, p. 936). Asimilar situation occurred about a yearago with mackerel caught off Califor-nia. What is most shocking is that be-cause of the persistence and relativeinsolubility of DDT it will continueto build up in the oceans for the nextdecade or so even if its use werestopped today.

Psychologists' Preprint Plans

Constance Holden (25 Dec., p. 1385)reports statements attributed to DavidGrant, editor of the Journal of Experi-mental Psychology, as follows: "Grant. . . says that the APA journal, theAmerican Psychologist, accords virtu-ally no space to those who wish tocriticize NISP or offer alternative waysof improving the information system."

This is not the case. The AP hasnever refused to publish critical articleson the NISP program. I assume thatGrant was referring to the only twomanuscripts received in this office onthis subject. In one case the manuscriptwas withdrawn by the author almostimmediately after the manuscript wassubmitted; and in the other case, dur-ing the course of correspondence withthe author, he advised me that the arti-cle would appear as an editorial in an-other journal and was not suitable forpublication as a paper.

It would have been so easy for12 FEBRUARY 1971

Miss Holden to check the facts with theeditor of the American Psychologistbefore her article was published.

CHARLES S. GERSONIAmerican Psychologist, AmericanPsychological Association, 1200 17thStreet, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036

Constance Holden has made an hon-est attempt to capture the essence ofAPA's program for a National Infor-mation System for Psychology (NISP),and the opposition to it by some mem-bers of the association.... Her errors offact are relatively minor; for example,APA has never contemplated "com-puterized distribution of tape cassettesand films." Dean Kenneth E. Clark(University of Rochester, College ofArts and Sciences), chairman of APA'scommunications committee, can pro-vide accurate factual material on whichthe reader can make his own evaluationof the program.More distressing in her report is the

dearth of positive suggestions for theimprovement of the APA communica-tions program. The program's critics,first Jane Loevinger (Science, 27 Feb.1970, p. 1228), and now DavidGrant, seem-at least as reported-tobe avoiding substantive discussion. Bothdisplay a surprising lack of knowledgeof the way in which their associationfunctions. Projects are not designed andput into action at the whim and fancyof staff members in any of APA's pro-grams. In the communications program,for example, a ten-member governingcommittee duly elected by the councilof representatives of the associationreviews, criticizes, frequently initiates,and always authorizes the implementa-tion of a project. It then continuouslymonitors and evaluates such projects.When major policy is involved, theissue goes to the board of directors forits decision, and all other major APAboards and committees are kept in-formed by briefings at their scheduledmeetings.

Suggestions of dark and sinister plots(the machinations of "cabals," accord-ing to Loevinger) make titillating read-ing, as do denunciations of unspecified"half-witted schemes." As with most adhominem arguments, however, neitheris particularly useful in solving themanifold and important problems ofscientific information exchange in psy-chology.

INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: Structure and Use

Raymond A. Barnett, Merritt College. 416pages, $9.95, January 1971.

Integrates and extends the essentials of a

modern elementary course in the first sixchapters. Intermediate courses with differingemphasis can be achieved by combining thesefirst six chapters with portions of the lastfour which are independent of one another.Sets, real numbers, and functions-and math-ematical structure-postulational approachand field properties, are emphasized.

TECHNIQUES IN PARTIALDIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Clive R. Chester, Polytechnic Institute ofBrooklyn. 464 pages, $14.95, January 1971.

The presentation is based on geometricaland/or physical ideas. It is not a theorem-proof book, and pedagogical methods takeprecedence. For the applied scientist there isconsiderable emphasis on motivation.

ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY

Gordon Fuller, Texas Technological College.560 pages, $10.50, January 1971.

The concept of a set and the axioms of a

field are introduced early. The simplicity andclarity of the author's writing, emphasis on

analytic trigonometry with attention to com-

putational trigonometry, and effective use ofcolor to aid understanding are important fea-tu res.

PRECALCULUS MATHEMATICS

Kenneth Henderson, University of Illinois,Zalman Usiskin, The University of Chicago,and Wilson Zaring, University of Illinois. 480pages (tent.), $10.00 (tent.), January 1971.

The first part of the text reviews material thestudent has previously covered from ap-proaches designed for best calculus prepara-

tion. Careful exposition and a wide varietyof problems provide the reader with under-standing and skill in employing operationsand manipulating symbols.

nal or other body fluids. Centrifugation and slide preparation are per-formed simnultaneously. which eliminates prior centrifugation and savesyou timile. Improv/ed head design ensures safety when working withpathogenic organisms.

The Shandon Cyto-Centrifuge produces a monolayer of cells and doesnot damage individual cell structure. Also, processed slides can berapidly scanned using a preset high power objective without adlust-ment between slides.
