This photograph is one of thousands of images that Max Perutz used to map the structure of the hemoglobin molecule. The image shows diffraction patterns caused by x-rays passing through a crystal of hemoglobin molecules taken from blood. The positions of the spots on a large number of X-ray photographs and extensive calculations help determine the molecular structure.
The photograph was presented to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2000 by Max Perutz. - Location
