Sub-series 5. Oak Ridge National Laboratory Lantern Slides, 1964-1973, undated

Arranged numerically by image number and alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains glass lantern slides created by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which were collected and maintained by Norman G. Anderson. They provide visual documentation of Anderson’s research activities at Oak Ridge.

Anderson’s research on cell fractionation and viruses at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is documented in this sub-series. Scientific instruments invented, developed, and used by Anderson at Oak Ridge, including the zonal centrifuge, K II zonal centrifuge, and GeMSAEC fast analyzer (also known as the centrifugal fast analyzer) are also covered in this sub-series. The Molecular Anatomy Program (MAN Program), which Anderson directed at Oak Ridge, is also covered here.

The contents of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Lantern Slides consist of black and white and color lantern slides. They contain images of a variety of subjects. Images of graphs, centrifuge components, centrifugation procedures, and centrifuges are the most common items found in this sub-series. Smaller, but noticeable, numbers of images of microscopic views, experiments, illustrations, and wavelength readouts are also present in this sub-series. Small numbers of other miscellaneous subjects, including, but not limited to, unidentified scientific instruments, samples, and unidentified drawings are preserved here as well.
