l ,, The following are the researcl'i and develox rent projects which have been assigned
to the Department for Crystal Structure Analysis of the Academy Institute for
:edicine and Biology in Dierlin-Ducha,
a,, Development of an electro-aechanical analog machine for carrying out two-
dimensional Fourier synthe. es ,
Specifications for this rroject read: 1) Two-dimensional Fourier syntheses
whose results can 'op. made visible within a few -minutes as altitude layer lines
on the screen of a iraun tube and which can be r :oto_;raphed? 2) It takes several
months to evaluate t ' ically the results without the aid of an analog machine
as r rot oced.
The develorment began in lane: +.951 and is still in i rogress. Dr. Kaethe Dornberger
Derartr-ent head, is in char,.c -)f scientific supervision, .?altor Troisch was
char,?ed with the construction of a model after Viktor Szokular formerly in
charge of construction,, defected to the .eat in J uric 1953
b. Further develorment of ar- aratus and equipment for crystal structure
analys is
,.:recification: Research I roject No. F3-501 is to be continued? An X-=ray camera
for crystal structure analysis, which has alre&dy been developed, is to be i.roved,
its accessories are to be conr;leted.
The devei.o; rsent started in 1950, with Kaethe 1iornbergcr as scientific supervisor
and Bernhard Trzcynski In char;;e of construction, Two versions of an X.ray
camera are completed; a third unrroved version is now in development. V
c. X-ray structure Analysis of dioptas.
Sr:ecification: :valuation of crystal photographs according to well-known methods.
The rroject, i Erich is s gTervisc:d by Hans.Guenther Heide, started in 1951 and
is still in ; rogress.

Lpecificati,-ns : 1) structure analysis of a;' number of tri-phenyl.-pyrazclines -s
2) Investigation of cc n jugated double conounds; X-ray structure analysis
r=esearch is to start early in 1954. No personnel has been assi};ned as yet.
