****************************************************** John Dalton's Eyes Participants at the John Dalton Conference in Manchester in 1994 will remember that the Manchester Museum of Science And Industry holds a number of items relating to Dalton in the private archive - including his eyes. The Museum's reason for keeping the eyes is to enable research into colour vision and, at the time of the Conference, permission was granted for a sample to be taken from the eyes for DNA analysis. The Museum would like to publicise the existence and availability of the eyes as widely as possible within the research community, and encourage their use for suitable research purposes. Access to the eyes would not be permitted on any other grounds. If you would be interested in using Dalton's eyes for research purposes, please contact The Curator of Science Museum of Science and Industry Liverpool Road Manchester M3 4FP Tel: +44 (0)161 832 2244 Fax: +44 (0)161 834 5135 website: www.msim.org.uk ***************************************************************** Dr Christine M Dickinson Senior Lecturer, Editor-in-Chief Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics Department of Optometry and Neuroscience UMIST PO Box 88 Manchester M60 1QD UK TEL: +44 (0)161 200 3874 FAX: +44 (0)161 200 3887/4433 E-mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
