| Method |
"The conversion of data obtained to true linear velocity values was accomplished by comparing the dimension of the projected scan of the 1-mm. calibration on the above-mentioned lucite guide with the actual dimension, which gave the power of magnification. In [investigators'] studies the power of magnification ranged from 360 to 380 ×. This magnification gave accurate readings to the nearest 10µm which was sufficiently accurate to allow analysis of statistical significance." |
| Comments |
"Mean linear velocity for this form was found to be 319µm/sec. at 20°C. Here again plane of movement was not a significant factor. The range was similar, being between 220µm/sec. and 360µm/sec." |
