| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the anatomy of the connective tissues' by G Thin |
| Creator | Thin; George (1839-1903); British dermatopathologist |
| Date | 1874 |
| Description | Thin presents a series of observations on samples of 'transparent animal tissues' which have been 'sealed up fresh in aqueous humour or blood-serum, by running Brunswick black [varnish] round the edge of the cover-glass'. He observes with one sample that after a horizontal section of the cornea has been sealed up for about two hours, the stellate branched cells are seen to consist of a mass of protoplasma, sharply defined on every side, except where it is continued for scarcely perceptible distance into the processes, and the nucleus is flattened.
Annotations in pencil throughout. Marked on front as 'Archives June 17/75'. With a copy of Thin's pamphlet 'On the Minute Anatomy of Muscle and Tendon and Some Notes Regarding the Structure of the Cornea', 19pp, (Edinburgh, 1874).
