“By careful adjustment of the focus⟳ of the instrument, with a power proportioned to the size of the areolæ, the granules can be seen in the centre of the hexagons ; care must, however, be taken not to confound an optical effect with the appearance of the granules ; each areola is a minute lens, and so refracts the light⟳ as to give⟳ a bright or dark dot as the focus⟳ is changed, and the granules themselves contribute⟳ to this effect.”
