Excitation transfer between the 62P fine-structure substates in rubidium, induced in inelastic collisions with ground-state molecules, has been studied using techniques of sensitized fluorescence. Rubidium vapor in mixtures with various molecular gases was irradiated with each component of the 2P rubidium doublet in turn, and measurements of sensitized-to-resonance fluorescent intensity ratios yielded the following mixing cross sections Q12(2P1/2 → 2P3/2) and Q21(2P1/2 ← 2P3/2), as well as effective quenching cross sections Q1X(2P1/2 → 2XJ″) and Q2X(2P3/2 → 2XJ″). For collisions with H2: Q12(2P1/2 → 2P3/2) = (41 ± 5) Å2; Q21(2P1/2 ← 2P3/2) = (26 ± 3) Å2; Q1X(2P1/2 → 2XJ″) = (36 ± 9) Å2; Q2X(2P3/2 → 2XJ″) = (31 ± 8) Å2. For HD: Q12 = (42 ± 5) Å2; Q21 = (27 ± 4) Å2; Q1X = (47 ± 13) Å2; Q2X = (38 ± 10) Å2. For D2: Q12 = (42 ± 5) Å2; Q21 = (27 ± 4) Å2; Q1X = (28 ± 8) Å2; Q2X = (21 ± 7) Å2. For N2: Q12 = (107 ± 15) Å2; Q21 = (70 ± 10) Å2; Q1X = (128 ± 44) Å2; Q2X = (126 ± 33) Å2. For CH4: Q12 = (38 ± 6) Å2; Q21 = (24 ± 3) Å2; Q1X = (129 ± 41) Å2; Q2X = (114 ± 37) Å2. For CD4: Q12 = (52 ± 7) Å2; Q21 = (34 ± 5) Å2; Q1X = (82 ± 30) Å2; Q2X = (76 ± 22) Å2. An analysis of these results suggests the possibility of resonances with various molecular rotational and vibrational transitions.

New Form

Platelet adhesion initiates platelet aggregation and is an important component of the hemostatic process. Since the development of a new form of collagen as a topical hemostatic agent is of both basic and clinical interest, an ultrastructural and hematologic study of the interaction of platelets with the microcrystalline collagen preparation was undertaken.In this study, whole blood anticoagulated with EDTA was used in order to inhibit aggregation and permit study of platelet adhesion to collagen as an isolated event. The microcrystalline collagen was prepared from bovine dermal corium; milling was with sharp blades. The preparation consists of partial hydrochloric acid amine collagen salts and retains much of the fibrillar morphology of native collagen.

Follicular structures, in the rat pituitary, composed of cells joined by junctional complexes and possessing few organelles and few, if any, secretory granules, were first described by Farquhar in 1957. Cells of the same description have since been observed in several species including man. The importance of these cells, however, remains obscure. While studying human pituitary glands, we have observed wide variations in the fine structure of follicular cells which may lead to a better understanding of their morphogenesis and significance.

Silver tetraphenylporphine sulfonate (Ag-TPPS) was synthesized in this laboratory and used as an electron dense stain for elastic tissue (Fig 1). The procedures for the synthesis of tetraphenylporphine sulfonate and the staining method for mature elastic tissue have been described previously.The fine structure of developing elastic tissue was observed in fetal and new born rat aorta using tetraphenylporphine sulfonate, phosphotungstic acid, uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The newly forming elastica consisted of two morphologically distinct components. These were a central amorphous and a peripheral fibrous. The ratio of the central amorphous and the peripheral fibrillar portion changed in favor of the former with increasing age.It was also observed that the staining properties of the two components were entirely different. The peripheral fibrous component stained with uranyl acetate and/or lead citrate while the central amorphous portion demonstrated no affinity for these stains. On the other hand, the central amorphous portion of developing elastic fibers stained vigorously with silver tetraphenylporphine sulfonate, while the fibrillar part did not (compare figs 2, 3, 4). Based upon the above observations it is proposed that developing elastica consists of two components that are morphologically and chemically different.
