| Brief Description: | Drilling apparatus made for chamber no. 5r which had a sloping coverslip. The tissue thickness varied from 0 to 50?m. As the thinnest part of the tissue showed vessels and cells exceptionally clearly it was decided to try to inoculate this area with tubercle bacilli and observe the cellular reaction under the best conditions for microscopy hitherto obtained. No access hole being available one was made with this specially constructed apparatus to inoculate the very thin area. The result fully justified the time spent in making and using it. | ||||||||||
