Marcello Malpighi [b. Crevalcore (Italy), March 10, 1628, d. Rome, December 30, 1694] A pioneer in the use of the recently invented microscope, Malpighi located the capillaries that carry blood from the arteries to the veins. He also identified sensory receptors (papillae) of the tongue and skin and capsules of the kidney and spleen. He showed that there is no such thing as black bile, which since ancient times had been believed to be one of the four humors (fluids) of the human body, together with yellow bile, blood, and phlegm.

Marcello Malpighi, an Italian physician and biologist in the 17th century, is often credited with the discovery of the pattern of fingerprints. He viewed fingerprints as unique patterns that could be used to identify individuals, noting their intricate details in his anatomical studies. Malpighi's observations laid the groundwork for later advancements in forensic science, particularly in the use of fingerprints for identification purposes. His work highlighted the importance of these patterns in distinguishing one person from another.
Malpighi challenged the prevailing idea of spontaneous generation by demonstrating the role of the egg in reproduction. He also challenged the idea that plants were simple, homogeneous structures by pioneering the study of plant anatomy at the cellular level.
