Abstract: Objective: we report here results obtained concerning analyses of the putative penis of Napoléon. Methods: SEM-EDX and mtDNA analyses on samples of this penis are realized. Results : SEM-EDX studies show that the samples are relatively rich in calcium phosphate, and consequently that the “penis†is more likely a piece of tendon; mt-DNA analyses, realized on two samples, showed the presence of the 16184T mutation only, confirming that the tendon is well that of Napoléon.
