H o w the RCAelectronmicroscope helps U.S. RUBBER " t a i l o r - m a k e " synthetic l a t e x to order Says the U.S. Rubber Company: "We undertook the study of synthetic latex to see if particle size had some rela­ tion to problems connected with dipping products—like balloons and rubber gloves, for instance. Latex would riot dry readily. N o r could it be concentrated easily. " W i t h t h e a i d of t h e RCA Electron Microscope, we found that synthetic rubber latex could be improved for dipping—if we made it u p in larger particles. Also, with the instrument we were able to study the effects of many ingredients on particle size. SCIENTIFIC

"Result: Today we can regulate the par­ ticle size of synthetic latex, not only to improve it for dipping, but also to make small-particle latex that readily penetrates between cloth and paper fibers-for better impregnation." This is another example of how RCA Electron Microscopes are helping industry solve fundamental problems of product re­ search and processing.
