Abstract
Relevance. Histology, which studies the microscopic structure of tissues, is the basis for many biomedical sciences. The study of the histology history helps to understand better how modern research and diagnostic methods were formed. With the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and genomic research, the understanding of the histology history can help in evaluating new approaches and integrating them into traditional methods. The history of the histology development may be interesting to specialists and students who want to understand the evolution of scientific ideas.
Results. Histology originated long before the invention of the microscope, but its formation as a science is associated with the microscope creation. Therefore, there are three stages in the development of histology: before microscopic, microscopic and modern. Knowledge of the history of histological studies allows us to fully and deeply understand the processes occurring in the body at the cellular level. The article describes the main important achievements and scientific discoveries of scientists who have contributed to the development of histology, as well as to the improvement of microscopy. Histology creates a theoretical basis for the study of many clinical disciplines. It is a fundamental discipline. It has a great practical importance. Microscopy is necessary not only for making diagnoses, but also in the treatment process. Microscopes are used in surgery for operations requiring delicate intervention, in ophthalmology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery and many other areas of medicine.
Conclusion. This article presents a brief summary of the history of the formation and development of histology as a science, important discoveries and achievements that influenced the development of medicine and biology. The article is intended for a wide range of readers, especially for students and teachers of medical universities, as well as for clinical residents, graduate students and doctors of various specialties.
