* Jacob Henle (1809 – 1885) held the chair of anatomy successively in Zurich, Heidelberg and Göttingen. According to Garrison the histological discoveries of Henle take rank with the anatomical discoveries of Vesalius. Many structures are named after him including the ducts of Henle in the kidney and cells of the root sheath of a hair. ‘It was not only as a histologist that Henle’s genius was expressed. His ‘Handbook of Rational Pathology (1846-53) was a standard text for students’. – Long, A Hist. of Path. £375 £275 |
