cantstophere: Drawing of a retinal neuron by Ramón y Cajal, my favourite neuroscientist of all time. This guy was one of the first people to systematically look at cellular brain structures under a microscope and make drawings of them in the late 1800s-early 1900s, and many of his drawing are still used in textbooks today. He was making better histological slides a century ago than I can do now! Plus, he was a bit of an anarchist and went to jail at age 11 for blowing up his town gate with a cannon.
