John Tyndall was best known for experiments regarding scattering light by atmospheric particles and the absorption of infrared radiation by gases.
[4] She was a key component in John Tyndall's experiments and research and her greatest impacts lie in his work.
[6] She assisted him with his work and writing his paper for the Royal Institution for some time before they made their relationship public.
[6] Her wealth was not a motive for John to marry Tyndall for her father died in 1884 and left her very little money from his estate.
The summer after they got married, the couple climbed Aletschhorn which is nearly 14,000 ft.[2] They moved to live together in Hindhead, a village in Surrey, England.
[2] Despite these successes, Tyndall's name did not make it on any paper because she was contributing at a time in which women were not viewed as capable of coming up with their own scientific discoveries.
[2] John died from being accidentally given the wrong amount of medicine by Tyndall, which caused him to overdose on chloral hydrate.
