In the context of the critical role of instrumentation over a century of biomedical research at Rockefeller University, Dr. Stapleton will examine the instrumentation behind the Nobel Prize-winning research of Herbert Gasser and H. Keffer Hartline. He will review the specific instrumentation utilized, and how it framed experimental procedures and results. He will conclude by considering why instrumentation has received relatively short shrift in Gasser's and Hartline's scientific publications as well as in many historical accounts.
