Apr 14, 2023 · The enigmatically named “Photograph 51” (Fig.1) is an X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken by Rosalind Franklin, together with her PhD student Raymond Gosling, at King’s College London in May 1952.
Photo 51 is an X-ray based fiber diffraction image of a paracrystalline gel composed of DNA fiber [1] taken by Raymond Gosling, [2] [3] a postgraduate student working under the supervision of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin at King's College London, while working in Sir John Randall's group.
Dec 30, 2019 · While visiting, Wilkins showed Watson one of Franklin´s X-ray diffraction images of DNA, which historians claim was one of the clearest image of DNA, Photo 51, without Franklin´s knowledge. From the image, Watson concluded that DNA was helical.
