Before capillaries could be discovered, advancements in microscopy were crucial. The invention of the microscope in the 17th century, particularly with improvements by scientists like Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, allowed for the visualization of tiny structures in biological specimens. Additionally, techniques for preparing and staining tissues helped reveal the intricate networks of capillaries, enabling researchers to observe these small blood vessels for the first time.
Marcello Malpighi was the seventeenth century scientist who discovered the capillaries in the body using a microscope.

Capillaries are the structures that connect arteries to veins.
Capillaries The smallest of the blood vessels: capillaries.
Arteries "feed" the capillaries while veins drain the capillaries.
plmonary veins begin as capillaries and end as capillaries
Sinusoidal Capillaries
The thin walled blood vessels are called capillaries.
