PHOTOGRAPHS AND DIGITAL FILES
Scope and Content of Series
Series 6) PHOTOGRAPHS AND DIGITAL FILES: Micrographs of Lahiri's research in hypoxia and carotid bodies. Slides of human respiratory
research subjects in 1967, and of graphs and charts of Lahiri's research. The digital files are micrographs, animations and
