| Title | Paper, 'On the minute structure of striped muscle, with special reference to a new method of investigation, by means of "impressions" stamped in collodion' by John Berry Haycraft |
| Creator | Haycraft; John Berry (1857-1922); British physician |
| Date | [1890-1891] |
| Description | Haycraft writes: 'Curiously enough many of the early microscopists—Schwann for instance—recognised that the fibrils of a muscle are not simply threads of uniform thickness, like those of connective tissue: they were able to demonstrate their varicose character, even with the imperfect lenses at their command.'
