“Giving body” to embryos: Modeling, mecahnism, and the microtome in late 19th-century anatomy (1999)

unapi

Description “Reinvestigating the work of the anatomist Wilhelm His (1831-1904) shows how engaging with models in three dimensions can revise our accounts of scientific change. He is known ... for articulating a mechanical approach to embryology and for inventing a section cutter, or microtome.”
