The Millikan Apparatus
The suspension chamber experiment was rendered untestable due to several factors:
- The engineering of the Millikan Apparatus viewing scope to excite and detect fluorescence was impractical and challening.
- Control tests on evaporation in the chamber indicated that droplets would evaporate in under 10 minutes; a timescale too quick for studying cell replication.
- Insufficient time and resources to perform successful experiments.
