- Franklin took the DNA images by X-ray diffraction during his stay at King's College, London. These images, which suggested a helical structure and allowed inferences to be made about key details about DNA, were shown by Wilkins to Watson.
- Rosalind Franklin's work with X-ray crystallography played a crucial role in understanding the structure of DNA. Her famous "Photograph 51" provided critical data about the helical structure of DNA, which was instrumental in the eventual discovery of the DNA double helix by James Watson and Francis Crick.
- She made significant contributions to the understanding of the structure of viruses. Her work on tobacco mosaic virus and the polio virus helped advance our knowledge of these infectious agents
- Franklin's career achievements occurred during a time when women in science faced significant obstacles. Her success and determination paved the way for future generations of women scientists and inspired many to pursue careers in STEM fields.
- While Franklin did not receive full recognition for her contributions during her lifetime, the scientific community has since acknowledged her invaluable role in the discovery of the DNA double helix. His legacy has been celebrated through various awards, honors, and educational programs.
