Ernst
Fleischl
Edler von Marxow
(1846-91)
Biographical
A physiologist and physician, Fleischl first studied mathematics, physics
and chemistry before turning to medicine. In 1870 he received his
doctorate, and was appointed associate professor in 1880. An infection
of the hand hampered his work output, but he still managed to complete a
large number of works and he ranks amongst the best physiologists of his
time. He specialised in nerve and muscular physiology, and
physiological optics. He adapted the capillary electrometer for
physiological experiments, and his haemometer for determining the
haemoglobin content in the blood was widely used. He was made a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences
in 1887.[1]
