"Samoilov's Corner" is the part of our exhibition devoted to the founder of Kazan School of Electro-Physiology. The central part of the corner is occupied by string galvanometer and the armchair from the scientist's study.
In 1904 at the International Congress in Brussels Aleksandr Filippovich got acquainted with the prominent Holland physiologist and physicist Wilhelm Eithoven and his new instrument, string galvanomenter. In 1906 he brought the instrument to Kazan and set it in his physiological laboratory of the University. Having improved it, he was the first physician in Russia, who registered electrical cardiogram of man.
One of the first electrical cardiograms registered by him is displayed at exhibition; next to it there are devices from his physiological laboratory and photographs of Samoilov and his disciples. Among them there is V.V.Parin, founder of Space Medicine, outstanding scientist and Full Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences and Academy of Medical Science.
In 1929 V.A.Engelhard was elected the professor of the Biochemistry Department. Despite his short staying in Kazan, he discovered the phenomenon of oxidizing phosphorylation, which was one of the greatest contributions of soviet scientists to world science.
There is a manometer form Warburg's Respiratory Apparatus which was used by the scientist.
