Description: Deals with the work of James Hirsch and his successful experiments in determining how white cells, or leucocytes, kill germs in the body. Shows the preliminary problem-solving by one of his associates, Anvil Cohn, of separating parts of the white cell for chemical analysis, and later the electron-microscopic study of the white cells in proving Hirsch's theory., The search for the way white cells kill germs in the body. The development of a way to separate and analyze subcellular components of the white cell, photomicrography of white cells ingesting germs, and electron-microscope photographs of internal structures of the white cell which releases germicidal materials.
