…and while #Photo51 (or its twin) alone not enough for #jameswatson to solve DNA structure, names of Astbury, Bell, Beighton & how first attempts to crack DNA structure grew out of Northern textiles research would all be better known today had Watson been shown Beighton’s photo #oupacademic

Who knew #Photo51 taken in 1952 by #rosalind_franklin & R Gosling has forgotten twin!!?? Identical image taken #universityofleeds in 1951 & might well have come to attention of #jameswatson had scientist #WTAstbury only been as good a comedian as he was at applying physics to biology…#oupacademic

What is Photo 51 and why was it important? Photograph 51 is the nickname given to an X-ray diffraction image of crystallized DNA taken by Raymond Gosling in May 1952, working as a PhD student under the supervision of Rosalind Franklin at King'...

#Photo51 is a crucial X-ray diffraction image of #DNA taken by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952, clearly showing the helical structure of the B-form of DNA.

From #Photo51 to modern lab audits, visual documentation is a cornerstone of scientific research and regulatory compliance.

Photo 51 is an iconic X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952. This image played a crucial role in the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure, which was later published by James Watson and Francis Crick. While Watson and Crick received the Nobel Prize for their work, Franklin's contribution, including Photo 51, was not fully acknowledged.

#Photo51 is an X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken in May 1952 at King's College London.

The image is considered one of the most important photographs in the world because it confirmed the double-helix structure of DNA.
