Field notes
The page combines image-led collection browsing with movement filters and separate histories for its watch subjects. Its Lip section gives a timeline from Emmanuel Lipmann’s 1867 workshop through later factory occupations, while the doctors’ watch section explains how pulsometer and asthmometer scales are read. The pulse demo has separate modes for a virtual patient and the visitor’s own pulse.
