Before the era of modern medical procedures, the main means for studying the internal structure of the body were palpation and dissection. It was the advent of microscopy that opened up an understanding of the building blocks that constituted living tissues. Technical advances in the development of achromatic lenses increased the resolving power of the microscope and around 1839,Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann identified that cells were the fundamental unit of organization of all living things.
