Photo 51, X-ray diffraction image which confirmed the double helical structure of DNA.Rosalind Franklin, the supervisor of the crystallography.1952, the year.King's College, the location of the laboratory in London, UK.
The results suggest a helical structure (which must be very closely packed) containing probably 2, 3 or 4 coaxial nucleic acid chains per helical unit and having the phosphate groups near the outside.
