Camello Golgi...

This Italian scientist, winner of the 1906 Nobel Prize, was a physician who received a grant to work at a hospital. He was drawn to scientific research and found a small, neglected kitchen in the hospital, which he transformed into a small laboratory for studying the histology of nervous tissue. He prepared simple tools and began his work, using very basic tissue stains at the time, which were later developed. He arrived at the simple structure of nervous tissue under the microscope, which was very basic at the time. By chance, Golgi discovered remarkable structures, which were then called Golgi bodies. He didn't know what they were or their function, but Golgi received the Nobel Prize for his discoveries in nervous tissue. This was the first information about the tissue, but to be fair, this information was overwhelming at the time and difficult for scientists to understand. The discovery of the Golgi bodies dates back about 120 years, and with the advent of the electron microscope , their structure and function were discovered, and they became known as the Golgi Apparatus.
