Image description

A Helmholtz-pattern lacquered- and oxidised-brass ophthalmoscope circa 1852, unsigned, the eyepiece frame with removable section for correction lenses, protective felt washer and 10mm aperture, 56° angled frame holding three plane parallel glass plates, with ebony handle, seven of eleven corrective lenses, contained in purple plush and cream-silk lined leatherette case. One of the greatest minds of the nineteenth century, the German physician and physicist Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821-94) worked in the fields of conservation of energy, sensory physiology, ophthalmic optics, acoustics and aesthetics, and electromagnetism. In 1850, Helmholtz invented the ophthalmoscope and revolutionised ophthalmoscopy.
