A consequence of the theory is that light may be so influenced by a magnetic field as to make it possible to produce an optical microscope controlled by magnets. The claim is directed to such a microscope and Fig.7 shows an embodiment thereof. In Fig.7 coherent light from a laser source 1 passes through the field set up by a solenoid 3 and thence through a minute aperture in a plate 4. The emergent beam traverses a zone bounded by an array of permanent magnets 11 and eventually impinges on deflecting mirrors 17, 19. These are movable in such a manner as to cause a beam to 'scan' a specimen at 22 and a divergent beam 21 strikes a screen 24 which may be observed at 25. It is asserted that the observer will perceive a greatly magnified image.
