Английская Википедия:Friedrich Sigmund Merkel
Friedrich Sigmund Merkel (5 April 1845 – 28 May 1919) was a leading German anatomist and histopathologist of the late 19th century. In 1875, he provided the first full description of Tastzellen (touch cells) which occur in the skin of all vertebrates.[1] They were subsequently given the eponym "Merkel cells" in 1878 by Robert Bonnet (1851–1921).
Merkel was a native of Nürnberg. In 1869 he earned his medical doctorate from the University of Erlangen, becoming habilitated in the field of anatomy during the following year. He was a professor at the Universities of Rostock (from 1872), Königsberg (from 1883) and Göttingen (from 1885). At Göttingen, he worked under Jacob Henle and married Henle's daughter Anne. He published a multivolume textbook on human anatomy and originated the color scheme used by most anatomy texts today: red for arteries, blue for veins, and yellow for nerves.[2] He introduced xylene as a clearing agent in histology, and it is still used today[3] Two of his better known assistants were Dietrich Barfurth (1849-1927) and Hermann Kuhnt (1850-1925).
The term "Merkel's spur" is synonymous with the femoral calcar.[4]
