He burned each of them and sent their complex light through a polariscope and then through a magnetic field. A magnet twists polarized light to a calculable extent. The fineness of this magneto-optic rotation is such that it can detect one part of a substance in 100 billion parts. The greatest amount of eka-iodine Dr. Allison could find in any of his substances...
