MELPAR LAUNCHES PROJECT PROBE
The Parade of Disciplines in the Most Advanced Areas of the Physical Sciences
Today, exploring In all of the physical sciences, Melpar Is probing in many areas of fundamental research, such as: Physical C h e m i s t r y , encompassing the relation of physical properties of biological materials to biological functions. Physical Techniques and M e a s u r e ments in such fields as electron spin resonance, in conjunction with the studies of molecular structure to determine Zeeman effects on free radicals. Chemistry Studies in fluorescence, organic reactions, electrochemistry, polymer research, and gas chromatography and radiochemistry.
Why use gas chromatography? Why use electron spin resonance? These represent but a few of the areas Melpar is now exploring. This is Melpar: Project Probe. Scientists with advanced degrees in any of the Physical Sciences, who are interested in participating m Melpar: Project Probe, are invited to write to F. J. Drummond, Professional Placement Manager, Melpar, 3353 Arlington Boulevard, Falls Church, Virginia.
