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

I got this

Post what you get.

Exciting stuff

Not for the faint hearted!

I like it!

Ghosts?

I think I might win this one.

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

A 19th century French catheter, how exciting!

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

Looks like an ancient fidget cube

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.

Neodrenal tablets!

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

A lightbulb. Fascinating stuff

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

This is fun!

I want an ancient fidget cube

Erm....

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

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

Or click on the collection number.

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

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

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.

oh and you prick holes in the skin first.

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.
