Pickworth Method

Pickworth Method. Georges Theophile Pickault, an outstanding French scientist in the field of physiology and anatomy, was born on May 25, 1845 in Paris in the family of a gynecologist. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the Sorbonne in 1863. And from 1878 he taught there. In 1983 he defended his doctoral dissertation. First he worked with Claude Bernard, then until his death he was engaged in his own research. Pickvolt died on February 2, 1937. And he left at the peak of his fame...

Peakvolt determined the time of final maturation of cells for division at the final stages of teleontogenesis. He described the stages of development characteristic of the nucleolempha division cycle. A French scientist was the first to separate the microvilli (ribosomes) of protoplasm in ultrathin sections of the adrenal lobules during the prometabolic period. Pickward studied the mechanisms of photoregulation of the endocrine activity of the body's pancreas. The essence of the method is direct observation using a light microscope of the shape of the epithelium and the structure of the stomach filled with food. The scientist created a “photoprobe” in which, under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, a layer of the drug (matter) decomposes, which makes it possible to visually observe the distribution of active substances in tissues and cells. This helped him to study in detail the fine histological tissues of cystinuria for the first time. Based on all these facts, the scientist concluded: disruption of cellular and tissue structures after the death of the very first kidneys
