About this work

Description

Photographs, glass slides and negatives of B form DNA optical transform patterns, and images of dotted outlines of the spots on the B form pictures, obtained with an optical diffractometer developed by Henry Lipson (1910-1991). Clive Hooper, Bill Seeds and Alec Stokes wrote an account of their adaptation of the Lipson method for macro molecules such as DNA, ‘Photographic Preparation for the Large Molecules for the Lipson Diffractometer’, published in Nature, Volume 175, 16 Apr 1955, p679-681. File also includes photographs of early models of DNA structure, [1950]. Original file title ‘File Lipson data’.
