Abstract
Photomicrographs by means of a spectroscopic attachment show that the red globules transmit the long waves of the spectrum to about A.U. 5740, the yellow globules transmit red, yellow and green to about A.U. 5118, whilst the almost colorless globules transmit all but the extremely short waves of the visible spectrum.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
