Along-side the rails is placed a scale dividedinto millimeters so that the distance ofthe parallel stretched wires may be con-tinually read. As the frame and screenare both held in position by the stand, point. By means of two movable wires,a point may be accurately noted; bymeans of four wires an organ, for ex-ample, the heart, can be framed. And,if a further wire is set to a certain pointin the body one can determine the posi-tion of the organ in the body to a certaindegree of accuracy. The Dennis lluorometer (Fig. 3) en-ables us to ascertain still better, and withmore exactness, the position which anyorgan or foreign body, fragments of thebones, etc., seen on the field of the rluor-oscope, occupy in the human accomplish this result it provides: A position of the body or lim
