one of Argentine's leading soien- I
tists, who is active in Jewish
affairs in his country.
The assistant professor of
ophthalmology at the Univer-
sity of Buenos Aires School of
Medicine reported that he had
achieved "remarkable micro-
photographic pictures" of the
corneal cells, which cannot be
stained with ordinary dyes. He
said he used a variation of the
silver impregnation method de-

In a second scientific report
to the Congress, Dr. Sverdlick
told more than 1,000 eye Special-
ists from 24 countries that he
found the retinas in the eyes of
deep water fish off Argentina's
Atlantic coast equipped with
double and twin cones and mul-
tiple rods to penetrate the dark-
ness of the ocean depths. He
explained that this extra vision
apparatus was in sharp contrast
to fish living near the surface.
