Vergroting van een opgezwollen klier in een stuk kronkeldarm before 1879

Joseph Janvier Woodward’s *Vergroting van een opgezwollen klier in een stuk kronkeldarm* (before 1879) is a photomicrograph, a photograph taken through a microscope. It depicts a microscopic section of the ileum, a part of the small intestine, showing an enlarged solitary gland. The image displays a detailed view of the tissue structure at a cellular level, highlighting the anatomical complexity of the human body. This type of artwork was common in the late 19th century, as advancements in microscopy allowed for the visualization and study of minute biological structures, contributing to the development of medical and scientific knowledge.
