View of Russian satellite Sputnik number 1, third stage rocket via Lumicon at 8 FPS (frames per second). The satellite passes over Baltimore, Maryland. The Lumicon is a closed circuit TV device that intensifies light by 10,000 to 40,000 times.
Doctors operate on a cancer patient at the New England Deaconess Hospital, in Boston. Cancerous tissue excised from patient's body during surgery is saved to test behavior of the cells when exposed to radiation. The tissues are cultivated and then.examined under microscopes fitted with a movie camera. Cells divide. Radioactive material in a pack with warning, 'Hazard' written on it. A doctor exposes cancerous tissue to the radioactive material. Cancer cells die after exposure. Exterior view of the White Plains Hospital building in White Plains New York. A child runs to a woman in front of the hospital building. She picks up the child and both smile.
Professor with a cow at University of Maryland experimental dairy farm in College Park, Maryland. Calves eating. A cow is injected with small dose of radioactive isotope to trace efficiency of feed conversion into milk. A professor takes milk sample from the cow. The milk is analyzed in a laboratory. Various laboratory instruments and Professors working with them.
Plant biologists working on an experimental peanut farm at the North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina. Scientists seek improved strains of peanuts resulting from irradiation of seed. Large sized peanuts are shown resulting from such experimentation. A boy is shown buying such peanuts from a street vendor. The boy opens his eyes wide at the large sized nuts.
Testing procedures that led to advent of fluoride treatment in dentistry for prevention of cavities. A boy brushing his teeth. In a laboratory, teeth that had made radioactive at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, are subjected to mechanical brushing with stannous fluoride. A technician places a tooth in a Petri dish. He drops acid (akin to that produced by the human mouth which causes tooth decay) over the tooth, via a pipette. A woman technician using a Geiger counter, measures the amount of radioactive tooth dissolved by the acid. Experiment showed that the stannous fluoride reduced damage to the tooth caused by the acid.
