The collection of physiological instruments at Charité’s Berlin Museum of Medical History includes not only devices from the early history of the Institute of Physiology, founded in 1877, but also more recent instruments used in university teaching practices.
This digitization project is documenting the devices used in the practical physiology course attended by medical students from 1980 to 2004. These include analogue functional measurement devices and their accessories. The objects are being professionally photographed and the available data digitally cataloged. They will be presented on the collection platform together with older devices from the collection that had already been published in an illustrated catalogue in 2000.
