[Disinfection of ophthalmologic tonometers]

The authors describe an automatic instrument of their own design for disinfection of ophthalmological tonometers by germicide radiation. The tests of effectiveness against microbes (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), spores of Bacillus mesentericus, adenoviruses and viruses of Herpes simplex provided evidence of a high disinfectant potency of the apparatus.
