Malpighi was the founder of histology and one of the greatest microscopists. In 1660 he was the first to see the capillary anastomosis between the arteries and the veins, thus helping the completion of Harvey’s work on the circulation. He was a great embryologist; his name is perpetuated in ''Malpighian bodies'', ''Malpighi’s layer'' of the epidermis, ''Malpighi’s (splenic) Corpuscles''» (Garrison & Morton, n. 66, p. 10).
