published as a camera-ready manuscript, and I had not a laser

SUMMARY
The ice nucleation activity of the bacterium P.syringae
CCM 4073 was determined by a drop freezing technique and
expressed through the relative freezing nucleus spectrum -
fraction of nucleation active cells vs. temperature. The spectrum
was found to be independent of cell concentration, quite stable
within periods of the order of 1 h, and "step-wise",
the steps being most conspicuous at -5C and -9C.
