I give up! 24d clue: retinal inspection instruments. [I ought to know this having worn specs for nearly 70 years!]
o-h-h-lmoscopes
The first 'h' is in 'ichor' 30a; the second in 'behaviour' 35a. Are they right?

It should be 'opthalmoscopes' but it doesn't fit.
Anyone know of it being spelt opHthalmoscopes?

Many thanks Dan. Should have known really 'phth' being common in greek originating words eg phenolphthalein [ just showing off now!]
