“Observation by means of the microscope will reveal more wonderful things than those viewed in regard to mere structure and connection: for while the heart is still beating the contrary (i.e., in opposite directions in the different vessels) movement of the blood is observed in the vessels-though with difficulty-so that the circulation of the blood is clearly exposed.” HeartMeanStillsDifferentScienceWonderWonderfulBloodMovementConnectionsOppositesDifficultyRegardStructureMereContraryObservationExposedWonderful ThingsVesselCirculationMicroscopes Author:Marcello Malpighi
