Abstract
The greatest achievement of R. VIRCHOW was his application of the microscopic technique in the diagnosis of diseases. This development revolutionized diagnosis in medicine and led to a new “bioptical” dimension in the field. In our institute — which is considered to be medium sized — the number of histological and cytological investigations has reached 25 000 cases or 80 000 preparations per year.
