As we continue to work our way through our archive of photos, we run across some that are a bit out of the ordinary.  They may be humorous or unique but they stand out from the other photos. We post new photos here monthly with the previous photos in the slideshow.

Our March Photo of the Month comes from the article in the September 10, 1965 issue of Life magazine. The cover features a story of one of the first ultrasound images of a baby's head in the womb displayed on a Tektronix Type 564 Storage Oscilloscope with two Type 3A75 Amplifier plug-ins. The storage oscilloscope when used in XY mode provided an efficient means of capturing and displaying the electronic image.

The cover story is Control of Life with the narrative Audacious experiments promise decades of added life, superbabies with improved minds and bodies, and even a kind of immortality. In the 60 years since this article appeared, we're not sure we've achieved those audacious goals.

We have the cover of the Life magazine framed and hung with our RM564 at the museum which shows a close up of a portion of the photo but prominently shows the Type 564 oscilloscope. We also have this on our news page along with the TekWeek article.
