Abstract

“At the banquet of medicine, [histology] is the guest of honor, who eats little—aloof, mysterious—to whom all listen, yet whom very few understand.”1 For Pío del Río-Hortega (Spain, 1882–Argentina, 1945), histology blended the cold and factual with the dynamic, romantic artistry that brought the subject to light. A disciple of both Nicolás Achúcarro and Santiago Ramón y Cajal, del Río-Hortega adapted his mentors' metallic impregnation techniques to discover and describe in exacting detail both the microglia and the oligodendrocyte.
