THE SIZE OF BACTERIA, AS MEASURED WITH THE DYSON IMAGE‐SPLITTING EYEPIECE

Abstract
SYNOPSIS: Using the Dyson image‐splitting eyepiece, a careful unfatigued observer can measure the dimensions of a bacterium with a standard deviation of about 0.03 μ. Systematic as well as random errors are discussed. The application of the eyepiece is illustrated by a number of specialized examples, including the growth of individual bacteria.
