Diagnostics of Rupture of the Sclera by Means of Ultrasound

“…The equipment used for this investigation was constructed I)y Dr. J. u. H. Krautkramer (Gesellwhaft fur Elektrophysik, Koln), for the purpose of testings of materials in the metal industry.

Magnification of the Echogram of the Eye by a High‐frequency Oscilloscope
