Abstract

A method of measuring "flash" thermal death points of microscopic animal organisms is described. By means of the devised apparatus the time of exposure can be varied from 0.5 to 0.1 second, and the temperature can be estimated with relative accuracy. In a sample determination, the single-celled ova of Ascaris lumbricoides (porcine origin) were all destroyed at a temperature of 68 °C. in an exposure of 0.44 second.
