Abstract
THE use of the Cartesian diver as an extremely sensitive micromanometer was suggested in this journal last July by Linderstrøm-Lang1, and the description of the technique was somewhat amplified in a subsequent note2. Since adequate micro-methods are, for the embryologist, indispensable, we have employed ourselves since that time in the adaptation of the method for use with small pieces of tissue, and in particular with the regions of the amphibian gastrula dissected out by the Spemann glass needle technique.
