Abstract: A device for separating a microscope slide into two separate sections has a arm mounted on a horizontal pivot carrying a downwardly extending glass cutter. A releasable member maintains the arm in an elevated position. A slider advances a microscope slide under the cutter releasing the releasable member to lower the cutter onto the microscope slide. A striker on the arm strikes one section of the cut slide to separate it from the other section as the cutter drops off the trailing edge of the slide. The slide then raises the arm for the restoration of the releasable means preferably by a cam attached to the arm. Advantageously, the releasable member is spring biased to its position to maintain the arm in an elevated position and is released by a cam attached to the slide. Advantageously, the slide is supported on a bed having an opening for the downward passage of the section of the slide struck by the striker with the opening having a edge underlying the cut made in the slide by the cutter.

Abstract: 2,3-Dichloro-4-(2-thenoyl)phenoxyacetic acid (tienilic acid) is prepared by reacting (2,3-dichloro-4-carboxy)phenoxyacetic acid with thiophene in the presence of a dehydration agent. The (2,3-dichloro-4-carboxy)phenoxyacetic acid is a novel compound.

Abstract: The invention is for a method for analyzing a stream of liquid such as blood and apparatus for carrying out the method. While it is known to present a moving column of liquid in a viewing cell, control of the circumference of the column to control its field size and lighting the column from the end opposite the viewing end has not been accomplished. The invention involves the method of passing a first liquid in a column in a confined space to a transparent panel, introducing one or more liquids of different colors to form a hollow column exterior of the first column, exhausting the liquids from adjacent the panel, directing light upwardly at the lower ends and through the columns and varying the pressure of one or more of the liquids to vary the circumference and speed of the first column. Apparatus is provided to carry out the method.
