Post-mortem retinal images
A lot of articles that look to be worth reading over at Bill Jay's website, but of note on page one of the essays, IMAGES IN THE EYES OF THE DEAD, a comprehensive study of the historically misinformed notion that the final image before death is captured on the retina.
File in the "Extremely disappointing that this phenomenon isn't real" category right next to this debunking of archeoacoustics/paleoacoustics being recorded upon the pottery of antiquity. Well, crap.
However, retinal photography for strictly medical purposes remains a valid field, yielding some incredible images.
