Malpighi est considéré comme le fondateur de l’histologie ou anatomie microscopique,
“Malpighi was the founder of histology and the greatest of the 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 the “Malpighi’s bodies”, “Mapighian layer”, of the epidermis, “Malpighi’s corpuscles”...” (Garrisson-Morton-66).
Il fut aussi le premier à disséquer un ver à soie sous microscope et à publier une monographie sur les organes producteurs de la soie.
(Avant lui, le ver à soie était considéré comme n’ayant pas d’organes).
Il a également été le premier à étudier l’apparition de l’embryon du poussin et à travailler sur l’embryologie.
En botanique, il a été un des pionniers dans l’étude du développement de la plante et de l’étude microscopique des tissus des végétaux.
Bel exemplaire. ‎
