Discovery that disease organisms, including one occurring in
dread cancer, can be killed by bombarding them with radio waves tuned
to a particular length for each kind of organism, was claimed today by
a San Diego scientist, Royal Raymond Rife, Pt. Loma. He added that he
had isolated this cancer organism but is not positive yet that it is
the direct cause of the disease.
The discovery promised fulfillment of man's age-old hope for a
specific destroyer of all his infectious diseases, although Rife
avoided any claim that he had established this yet. He announced his
work in the conservative manner of scientists, but his reports
indicated the great promise in their telling of successful bombardment
of thousands of cultures of organisms, including almost all kinds
known to mankind.
Organisms from tuberculosis, cancer, sarcoma, the tumor
resembling cancer but not so mortal as it; streptococcus infection,
typhoid fever, staphylococcus infection and two forms of leprosy were
among many which the scientist reported are killed by the waves. He
said that his laboratory experiments indicated that the method could
be used successfully and safely, in organisms at work in living
tissues.
"We do not wish at this time," Rife commented," to claim that we
have `cured' cancer, or any other disease, for that matter. But we can
say that these waves, or this `ray,' as the frequencies might be
called, have been shown to possess the power of de-vitalizing disease
organisms, of `killing' them, when tuned to an exact, particular wave
length, or frequency, for each different organism. This applies to
the organisms both in their free state and with certain exceptions,
when they are in living tissues."
EXCEPTIONS RARE
The exceptions, Rife explained, came when some unsolved one may
be just a harmonic of the other or may have a frequency which only is
a part of a complex frequency. Rife has recorded on film the life
span of many germs. One of the microscopes is equipped with two
motion picture cameras and one still camera.
Under extraordinary magnification of the "universal" telesope, a
germ has less privacy then the proverbial goldfish. It is scrutinized
from all sides and made as transparent as a cellophane wrapper.
Magnification is from 10,000 to 30,000 times.
The many adjustments on the microscope make it possible to view
the subject from all sides without readjusting the focus, which, at
such high magnifications, could not be regained.
5,800 PARTS IN MICROSCOPE
There are 5,800 parts in the largest of the four microscopes. Its
development parallels in the field of microscopes, the advancement
expected in telescopic construction when Palomar's 200-inch "eye" is
completed.
Associated with Rife is a corps of scientists and experts, in the
radio physics and medical fields. The work to combat man's invisible
enemies is coordinated to obtain the highest degree of perfection from
each.
Although the higher magnifications give excellent definition and
clearness, experimental work on viruses has required magnifications of
only from 6,000 to 10,000.
CONSTRUCTION INTRICATE
It is difficult for the layman to comprehend Rife's highly
technical explanation of the construction of his instrument. He
explained that his results were obtained by interposing correcting
prisms and blocks of quartz not more than 30 millimeters apart,
allowing only a tolerance of less then one core beam of illumination
from the objective to the ocular.
By applying this new system of optics and diminishing protection
between any two prisms or blocks to 30 millimeters, it is possible to
use objective lenses as oculars, giving a more highly corrected lens
system than is possible with any standard type of ocular.

MICROSCOPE THAT MAGNIFIES 20,000 DIAMETERS
EXHIBITED BY SAN DIEGAN
( Source of news article and date is unknown )
A new and unique type of microscope, designed and constructed by
Royal R. Rife, Point Loma scientist, and including within the single
instrument practically all modern systems of microscopy, is on display
in the Fine Arts gallery, in Balbon park.
The apparatus, displayed "as an example of fine and beautiful
craftsmanship," magnifies its field to 20,000 diameters. It has 6000
parts, weighs 200 pounds and stands 20 inches high. It is highly
polished with a chromium finish, a new departure in Rife microscopes,
which until now have been strictly utilitarian instruments with no
attempt at beauty of appearance.
Known as the Rife Universal microscope, the instrument can be
used with the dark field, mono-chromatic and transmitted light,
polarized light, opaque illumination, slit ultra-microscope and
refractability of crystallography systems of microscopic observation.
It is also equipped for micro-photography, and photographs of subjects
enlarged 20,000 diameters have been made, according to Rife.
This machine is the third of a series built by Rife for the
observation of filterable viruses. Each has embodied refinements and
improvements over its predecessor, according to Rife, and the new
apparatus eliminates several tedious steps in observation that were
required by the older ones. Its construction required nearly nine(?)
months.
