Pap?

Alexander Micek

I always wondered why it was called a pap smear. Then, I found that the technique outlined in the 1943 paper on detecting uterine cancer was written primarily by a man named "Papanicolaou." Now we know.

That said, this is actually not a picture of a pap smear (what would that look like?) but a long exposure that was pointed outside, and then moved inside.
