In 2016, students from the History & Health M.Sc. module suggested that the Archives should put Sir Ronald Ross\u2019s malarial slides, dating from 1900, under the microscope.<\/p>\n

Due to the age and rarity of these slides, you can imagine I was a little nervous but also very excited wondering what we might find!\u00a0 With the great expertise and enthusiasm of Ailie Robinson, Mojca Kristan and staff from the Teaching & Diagnostic Unit<\/a>, slides were examined under the microscope. Wonderfully, they were still viable and presented some exciting results.<\/p>\n

The staining techniques for slides \u2013 for example the use of gentian violet \u2013 has changed considerably since the 19th<\/sup> century, but we could still see oocysts and gametocytes, and Cheryl Whitehorn photographed the results.<\/p>\n
