Malpighi's legacy in modern science is immense. His pioneering work in histology laid the foundation for our understanding of tissue structure and function. The term "Malpighian" is used in various anatomical structures, such as the Malpighian tubules in insects and the Malpighian corpuscles in the kidney, reflecting the lasting impact of his contributions. Modern histologists continue to build on Malpighi's work, using advanced techniques and technologies to further explore the microscopic world.
