Title A name given to the resource Portrait of William Mackenzie 1791-1868 Description An account of the resource Seated three-quarter length in robes. William Mackenzie was born and educated in Glasgow. After a period spent travelling and studying on the continent and in London between 1815 and 1819, he returned again to Glasgow, dividing his time between general practice and lecturing on medical subjects in Anderson’s College. In 1824 he co-founded the Glasgow Eye Infirmary and also became the first editor of the Glasgow Medical Journal. His “Treatise on Diseases of the Eye”, published in 1830, was a standard textbook on the subject for over 20 years until the invention of the ophthalmoscope radically changed the practice of ophthalmology. He served as surgeon-oculist to Queen Victoria and would have been President of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons, but declined his election to this office on health grounds. This portrait was presented to the Faculty by Mackenzie's widow in 1884, and his extensive library, including works in several languages on ophthalmology and general surgery, was later donated to the Faculty by his son.

Title A name given to the resource Ballantyne's Pipettes Description An account of the resource For holding various ophthalmological solutions. Consists of six open-ended pipettes of various colours retained in a metal stand, with glass domed cover. Used to allow the Ophthamologist to select topical drugs easily and safely, as the solutions were effectively colour coded. Pipettes/dropper bottles: Six in number. The glass cylinders were uniform in diameter, with an ovel aperture (1.1cm x 0.85cm) in the glass wall, about mid length. This was covered by a rubber membrane, to give the user complete control of the solution delivery. The pipettes are made of different coloured glass, to identify the contents easily and safely. It would seem that the colours identified the solutions as follows: Purple = Atropine Flint (clear) = Cocaine Ruby = Eserine Dark blue = Adrenaline Green = Euphthalmine (eucatropine, a long-acting atropine) Amber = Fluorescein Metal stand: Consists of a square flat metal base, 10.28cm in size. Central metal column, 0.64cm in diameter and 17cm in height, ending in a lifting ring 3.1cm diameter. Two metal discs 8.25cm in diameter are incorporated into the central column 3.4cm apart, each with six disc cutouts 1.74cm in diameter, to retain the glass pipettes. Chromium plated. Glass dome, retained by four spring clips located on the stand base, is 18cm in height, by 9.5cm in diameter. Clear glass, 0.025cm thickness.

Thomas Reid was an ophthalmologist in Glasgow during the late 1800s. He graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1857 and was a pupil of the famous ophthalmologist, William Mackenzie. Reid designed this instrument to measure the curvature of the central area of the cornea. It was presented to the Royal Society of London in 1893, and the paper was communicated by Lord Kelvin. <div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/390ed5984729466bade8f40e62448091/embed?autospin=0.2" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/models/390ed5984729466bade8f40e62448091?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Thomas Reid's Portable Ophthalmometer</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> </div> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1170">Kelvin &amp; James White Ltd.; 1900-1914; Optician and mathematical instrument maker</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1890s Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2003/77.30 3D Instrument Ophthalmology Visualization https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/745049ef181bf3fdca7091a0dfdf47a3.jpg b476e5a09f215479b2299da5cf44c880 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/64f8e3a3a951f15dd0865b29ba02a3b9.jpg 2d81ef63a9fe6011b8438828f9f4d7a9 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/2f526d32a207fe6ba1ab5eed1020a998.jpg 31ed07286c29a6139294f7bb1f5227a5 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/183d3ea195948e21430484125bbe3c53.jpg a9226ed69b78f4ac0b98308d2da07263 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Battery powered, with batteries retained in handle. Case: Black, faux leather, with thin pressed brass external clasp. Internally fitted with recesses for the ophthalmoscope parts, lined with royal blue silk and velvet. Ophthalmoscope: Standard Lister-Morton model, battery powered. A. Stanford Morton was an ophthalmologist active during the late 19th century. He designed a new style of ophthalmoscope during the 1880s, which would have shone light on the eye via several mirrors. The original design remained unchanged for over 100 years, with one slight variation being the Lister-Morton ophthalmoscope. This Lister-Morton ophthalmoscope is powered by a battery, which illuminates the eye via a built-in torch. The Lister spoken of in the title of this instrument is not Sir Joseph Lister, but his nephew, Sir William Tindall Lister. He was the one who added an electrical component to Morton's classic model of the ophthalmoscope.

John Trotter set up business in Gordon Street in the 1880s with a branch opening in Edinburgh in the 1920s.

Ophthalmic surgeon Hugh Wright Thomson worked with Trotter to develop the skiascope which he used initially for eye examinations in school children although he subsequently also found it helpful for adults in hospital refraction work. A long stem was attached to its centre and the circular frame was fitted with twenty of the lenses most commonly used in retinoscopy (technique to objectively determine the refractive error of the eye – farsighted, nearsighted, astigmatism – and the need for glasses).
