The Sunday New York Times for June 15, 1958 reported:
TINY CELLS “SEEN” BY NEW TECHNIQUE
Microphoretic Method Spots Million-Billionth
of Gram, London Designer Says
Samples of substances weighing less than a million-billionth
of a gram can be analyzed by a new British microscopic
technique. This is the “microphoretic method” by Bernard M.
Turner, a London biochemical analyst and instruments
designer. It can be applied to the study of the cells of the
brain and nervous system, cell duplication including that in
cancerous tissue, and it will assist, it is believed, in the
analyses of atmospheric pollution by dust. . . .
