After development, the strip is washed for afew seconds in the second glass, and transferred into the third glass contain-ing the fixing solution. It ought to remain in this not less than a minute,but if it remains longer no harm is done. Then it is rinsed in the fourthglass, and is ready for comparison with the standard scale. (It need not be. ■Developing the strips KIENBOCK QUANTIMETER 285 dry for this purpose.) To leave a permanent record, the strip has to bewashed like any print for about half an hour in several changes of strips may be developed or fixed simultaneously by using a largeenough vessel. The Standard Scale consists of nine different tints, marked 0, |, 1, 2,3, 4, 5, 7, 10. The tint marked 1 is to be considered the unit, and is denotedby 1 x. It is half the value of the dose required to produce one unit inthe Holzknecht Chromo-radiometer, and one-tenth of the Sabouraud-NoireTint B dose. We therefore have : 10 x (Kienbock) = 5 H (Holzknecht) = 1 B (Sabouraud-Noire). If it is intended to administer the maximum dose in one sitting, it willbe a convenience to expose two strips of paper simultaneously. When,measuring the current passing through the tubes with a suitable rnilliampere-meter or judging the degree of fluorescence by experience, it
