The science museum have created the ability to see something that no one else has seen from their digitised collection online before.

Post what you get.

[Took]

Exciting stuff

[Pacif1cDogwood]

Not for the faint hearted!

[Clarabellawilliamson]

I like it!

[TheWitchwithNoName]

Ghosts?

[Zacharyswan]

I think I might win this one.

[FenEel]

I got a pair of bronze Roman forceps used in surgery. What a cool thing!

[ImAllOut]

A 19th century French catheter, how exciting!

[UselessTrees]

A hernia bistoury. Which has also taught me the word 'bistoury'. Cool.

[citygirlinwellies]

Looks like an ancient fidget cube

[viques]

Not very good at uploading.

I had a crystal glass.

What a fun site. I can see myself whiling away a few hours on it.

[Gilead]

Neodrenal tablets!

[MsAwesomeDragon]

This is what I got. That's really interesting.

[WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo]

A lightbulb. Fascinating stuff

[Oversize]

Underwhelmed by my spring. Just a metal spring. No idea what it was for.

[Autumnalleaves]

This is fun!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I want an ancient fidget cube

[ndo4000]

Erm....

[Thenthatsthatthen]

I got an Acupuncture needle

For those who are getting a blurry blue image, you have to click on it. Then it will show properly

[MsAwesomeDragon]

Another one. I don't really know what a cupping set is, but it looks interesting.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Or click on the collection number.

I think people are discovering the site. It's definitely getting slower. But that adds to the suspense.

[ndo4000]

Ah! Thanks @WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo. This looks a lot better.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I think cupping is to draw out ' bad stuff'. You light a taper in it to create a partial vacuum and then stick it on the skin. Gruesome.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

oh and you prick holes in the skin first.

[UselessTrees]

The cupping and scarificator things are for blood letting. The scarificator makes lots of clean cuts in the skin, then the cups are heated and put over to create a vacuum and draw out the blood.
