Golgi and Ramon y Cajal
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906; Ramon y Cajal: correct interpretation of neural brain structure, Golgi: silver staining technique enabling visualization of neuronal brain structure
Bichat
“Father of modern histology”; understood that body organs contain particular tissues/membranes and described 21 such membranes (tissue level anatomy)
Virchow
Pioneered concept of pathological processes through application of the cell theory (all cells from cells)
