Liebreich Ophthalmoscope
notes: label: Description
content: In 1851, Hermann von Helmholtz, a German professor of physiology, devised an ophthalmoscope for examining the interior of an eye. Richard Liebreich (1830-1917), a German ophthalmologist, developed a modification of that instrument soon thereafter. An inscription on the case of this example reads “Augenspiegel / nach / Dr. LIEBRICH.”
