Abstract:
The title compound, C(12)H(8)S(4), has crystallographic \overline{1} symmetry, the benzene groups thus being anti with respect to the plane of the four S atoms. The S-S and C-S bond lengths of the sulfur-carbon eight-membered ring were found to be similar to those in other structures containing such sulfur-carbon rings. There is evidence for pi-pi interactions between the aromatic rings of neighboring molecules, linking them into sheets.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
