Fontana extended his toxicological experiments to other substances, especially to curare. Fontana also took advantage of microscopic investigations ...[and he] belongs, together with Spallanzani, among the major microscopists of the 18th century ...':Hirsch II, 562: Weil cat. 26, 179: 'First French edition and first editions of the important additional tracts.': Ferchl, 159: Hirschberg

[see: Haymaker, p. 205 'Fontana's Treatise on the nerves is a little goldmine of ideas, for his time, on the frontier of this science. Not only did he describe and illustrate the solid axis "cylinder"of the "primitive nerve fiber", but also the degeneration of nerve, as it loses its fucntion when separated from its center. ..']: Vol. 2 discusses American poisons.': Wellcome vol. III, 37: Cole, 1836: Gorin, 60: 'He was the first to use chemical fixatives to preserve retinal tissue for examination.
