If, however, the mirror M is displaced parallel to itself to M by the microm-eter-screw, the rays cd and cd will now coincide at ei, whereas the raysfrom ab and ab will no longer issue coincidently and may not the interferences are transferred as a group from rays lying near X torays lying near X. It is obvious, therefore, that with the displacement of Mthe strip carrying interferences will shift through the spectrum and that anenormous play of the micrometer-slide at M will be available without the loss 25. 26 ..t > \ •! 3 i .
