Abstract

An apparatus is described for accelerating protons up to 400 kv with which to irradiate biological specimens in vacuum. The voltage is supplied by an air-insulated electrostatic generator used with a multiple section tube. The protons are produced by a convenient and reliable source, which is described. Details of the irradiation of spores of the fungus Aspergillus niger with protons are mentioned.
