AN APPARATUS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING GROSS ANATOM- 

 ICAL SPECIMENS. 



The following is a description of an apparatus I have found of great assist- 

 ance in photographing gross anatomical specimens. Its construction is such 

 that objects are photographed in a vertical direction, i. e., from above down- 

 ward.

 from the front showing camera in position. 



Fig. 2. — A view from back, showing guide 

 clamps and set screws of each carriage. 



It consists of a base, a standard and two carriages, one above the other. 

 The lower one being for the object to be photographed, and the upper for the 

 camera.
