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.
