This collection contains laboratory and clinical artifacts owned and used by Brigham and Women's Hospital neurologist H. Richard Tyler. The B-Scanner was used throughout the 1960s through the 1980s to detect clots and defects in the eye until the widespread use of CT scans and MRIs. The Curry-Paxton Perimeter, which was used to locate visual field defects, was still used until shortly before the time of donation in 2014. Both objects were used in Tyler's lab and then carried over into his private practice.
