Camillo Golgi Biography | World of Anatomy and Physiology (1754 words)
Golgi's silver stain received a somewhat lukewarm reception by his colleagues, perhaps due to the fact that it was difficult to replicate precisely.
Golgi also described the quotidian fever, which he believed was caused by a double infection of the tertian parasite; and the estivo-autumnal type of malaria, which he described as an altogether separate type of malaria.
The Golgi apparatus appears as a fine network of interlaced threads shown by Golgi and his students to be a consistent component in a variety of cell tissues.
Life and Discoveries of Camillo Golgi (1598 words)
Golgi graduated in 1865 and was, therefore, a student during the last years of the fights for the independence of Italy (Italy became united in 1870).
Golgi established in the Institute of General Pathology a very active laboratory, with international contacts, and was especially gifted in stimulating his students and foreign guests, including the Norwegian histologist and explorer Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930), Nobel Laureate in Peace 1922.
Golgi's discovery of the fl reaction and his subsequent investigations provided a substantial contribution to the advancement of the knowledge on the structural organization of the nervous tissue.
