  • Probes (2), forceps, bronze double ended in bronze cylinder
  • The first DNA fingerprint. The first three lanes contain DNA from a woman, her mother and her father respectively. Lanes 4 - 11 contain DNA from assorted other species including mouse, baboon, lemur, cow, grey seal and tobacco (last lane). The DNA probe used in this experiment detected tandomly repeated short stretches of DNA called minisatellites whose length varies between individuals.

  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy - normal female, chromosomes have been highlighted by a fluorescent probe for exon 45/47 (note the double yellow band). This disorder is caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome, so is normally shown only by males, who lack a second X chromosome. The condition starts with difficulty in walking and climbing stairs in early childhood, usually resulting in confinement to a wheelchair by the age of 10, with death from respiratory infection or cardiac failure by about the age of 20.
  • Two kinds of anal fistulas, instruments recommended by Rungius (surgeon in Bremen) to cure anal fistulas and various probes and needles for the treatment Engraving with etching.
  • Thomae Sydenham, medicinae doct. ac practici quondam Londinensis celeberrimi, Praxis medica experimentalis, sive Opuscula universa, quotquot hactenus ab autore ipso ultimùm revisa & aucta in lucem prodierunt / nunc primùm in unum collecta volumen, à mendis probè repurgatum, indicibusq́[ue] necessariis accuratissimis exornatum.
  • Effigy used in curing sick children, prob. Ibibio, Nigeria, W.Africa. These effigies were set out by the mother and appropriate sacrifices offered at a place indicated by the medicine-man.
  • An early DNA fingerprint showing DNA patterns from a mother (lanes 2 and 8) and her four children (adjacent lanes to the right). Lane 1 is an unrelated person. The two sets of lanes show the fingerprints reveled with two different probes that detect different types of repeated sequences.
