Anatomy of the Ear Glass Lantern Slide

This slide of the ear anatomy shows structures relevant to the otological comparison of Vesalius and Eustachius, including the Eustachian tube, which Vesalius hardly mentioned but Eustachius described perfectly, resulting in the associated eponym. A magnified portion of the slide shows the tensor tympani, which Vesalius identified but did not recognize as a muscle. Eustachius accurately described it as such.
