by slotting each atom into its needful place"
- Oliver Morton, The Economist, April 6th, 2019
To view molecules in AR (augmented reality) on your phone or tablet, download the free MERGE Object viewer from the app store
and use your camera to scan an object code in a particular exhibit, when available. Thanks to Dr. Swati Agrawal
of the University of Mary Washington Biology Department for creating object codes for OMM molecules.
For directions on using the application to view molecules in AR, see this guide: Bringing Molecules to Life.

- The OMM's exhibits are divided into functional "halls".
- Please
note: Each exhibit will open in a new window - it is recommended
that you close one exhibit before opening the next. Most
atomic coordinate (*.pdb) files have been gnu-zipped to
speed downloads, but some files are still large.
- For JSmol (and many other great Jmol enhancements), THANK YOU Bob Hanson!
