Angelo Ruffini

Angelo Ruffini (Pretare of Arquata del Tronto; 1864–1929) was an Italian histologist and embryologist.

He studied medicine at the University of Bologna, where beginning in 1894 he taught classes in histology. In 1903 he attained the chair of embryology at the University of Siena.

He was the first to describe small encapsulated nerve endings (mechanoreceptors) which were to become known as Ruffini corpuscles. He used a gold chloride stain on his microscope slides in order to view the tiny corpuscles.[1]

Ruffini was a pioneer in the study of amphibian gastrulation, providing a comprehensive and detailed description on the formation of "bottle cells". He published these findings in a book titled Fisiogenia (1925).

Relationship with Sir Charles Sherrington

Between 1896 and 1903, Ruffini corresponded regularly with Sir Charles Sherrington.[3] This relationship evolved after Ruffini sent copies of his papers on muscle nerve endings[4][5] to Sherrington. Ruffini also sent Sherrington eleven slides of 'Organi nervosi' (available online) and Sherrington was instrumental in getting Ruffini's work published in the Journal of Physiology.[6][7]

Polarizer

Optical filter device For the photographic filter, see Polarizing filter (photography). A polarizing filter cuts down the reflections (top) and makes it possible to see a photographer through the glass at roughly Brewster's angle although reflections off the back window of the car are not cut because they are less-strongly polarized, according to the Fresnel equations. A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking li...
