Figure 1.2.6.1

The 2 Å-resolution map of sperm-whale myoglobin was represented by coloured Meccano-set clips on a forest of vertical rods. Each clip was at a grid point. The colour of the clip indicated the height of the electron density. The density was interpreted in terms of `Corey–Pauling' models on a scale of 5 cm = 1 Å. Pictured is John Kendrew.
