Hesse, Heinrich

Heinrich Hesse (1847–1918) was a German anatomist and histologist known for developing important techniques for studying cells and tissues. He introduced the use of dyes like methylene blue to highlight cell components under microscopes, improving visualization of biological structures. His work contributed significantly to understanding cellular organization and function, laying foundations for modern microscopy and histology. Hesse’s innovations helped scientists better observe and analyze biological specimens, advancing medical and biological research.
