Rare second serie of twelve stereophotos. “Stereoskophilder vom Sternhimmel. 2. Serie. Von Professor Max Wolf. . Leipzig: Verlag von Johann Ambrosius Barth. With the exception of pictures of the sun and moon astronomical photographs always look flat. From the nature of the case this must be so for the distances are so great that we can have no effect of perspective. But by properly combining photographs taken at suitable intervals of time the stereoscope introduces a perspective and gives an apparent solidity that must be charming to everyone who is interested in celestial objects. This series of twelve pictures by Professor Max Wolf are very satisfactory both in choice of subject and in execution. They are as follows (i) "A Variable Star"; (2) ''A Planet with Moons"; (3) "A Planetoid" (4) "A Meteor"; (5) "Perrine's Comet"; (6) "Perrine's Comet" (7) "Perrine's Comet"; (8) "Proper Motion of a Fixed Star" (9) " The Nebula" ; (10) " The Great Nebula of Orion " (11) "Surface of the Moon"; (12) "Surface of the Moon." The picture of Saturn, showing two of its moons, is particularly interesting. We would suggest that these pictures might well find their way into the classroom, as few students will fail to be delighted with them. W. D.

This company sold among other things microscopic slides. J.D.MÖLLER had specialized on arranging diatoms on coverslips. Another popular type of slides were photographs of landscapes, art objects or newspaper pages, reduced to 2x2 mm by using a very special grainless sensitized material. These products are the precursors of the "Microdot process" which was used later to smuggle intelligence material.

Lewis Rutherfurd abandoned his study of law in 1849 to dedicate his leisure to science, particularly astronomy. He performed pioneering work in spectral analysis, and experimented with celestial photography. He invented instruments for his studies, including the micrometer for measuring photographs, a machine for producing improved ruled diffraction gratings, and the first telescope designed specifically for astrophotography. Using his instrumentation, Rutherfurd produced a quality collection of photographs of the Sun, Moon, and planets, as well as star clusters and stars down to the fifth magnitude. In 1862 he began making spectroscopic studies using his new diffraction grating. He noticed distinct categories of spectral classes of stars, which Angelo Secchi expanded upon in 1867 to list a set of four stellar classes.
