Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Xavier Bichat, French pathologist
Marie-Francois Xavier Bichat (1771-1802), French pathologist and founder of modern histology. Bichat worked at the Hotel-Dieu hospital in Paris. He noted that various organs consist of several components, or tissues, and set about documenting them. Eschewing the aid of a microscope, his observations were made during numerous post-mortems. His work had much influence on medical science, forming a link between the organ pathology of Morgagni and the later cell pathology of Virchow. Lithograph from Galerie medicale (1825-1829), a collection of portraits by Pierre Roch Vigneron (1789-1872)

Marie-Francois Xavier Bichat, a French pathologist from the late 18th to early 19th century, dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of human anatomy. Working at Paris' renowned Hotel-Dieu hospital, he meticulously dissected numerous cadavers during post-mortems to document the intricate composition of various organs.
