These metal boxes contain electronics and have been part of the equipment in Keffer Hartline's laboratory at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Hartline studied how the signals from photoreceptor cells are processed in networks of neurons. The electronics in the boxes were used to amplify the electrical signals from the neurons. The devices were built by Ted MacNichol, who was Hartline's first graduate student. When the devices were no longer used in the laboratory, Hartline took them home so his sons could use them in school projects.
The apparatus was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by Keffer Hartline's family in 2014. - Pristagare
