The fate of a nineteenth-century ischiopagus from Denmark

Ion Meyer, Jane Richter

Abstract

Et udstoppet præparat af et nyfødt dansk dobbelfoster fra 1848 er analyseret for at kortlægge hvordan det blev fremstillet og beskrive den nuværende bevaringstilstand. Analyserne omfatter makroskopisk dokumentation, røntgenundersøgelse, scanning elektron mikroskopi med energi dispersiv spektronomi, gaschromatografi - massespektronomi, identifikation af fibre og krympningstemperatur. Der er tale om et unikt præparat med stor formidlingsværdi. Den formidlingsmæssige kontekst diskuteres. Præparatet er en del af Den Saxtorphske Samling, der indgår i Medicinsk Museions samlinger.
