références: DSB [XI, p.492: " For him the real seat of life was constituted by the humoral parts of the organism. Beyond the fixed anatomical elements, there must be, he thought, a molecular organization that explained the morphology. In his opinion, therefore, microscopic investigation was only a stage of biological research and must be followed by chemical analysis. In collaboration with a chemist, F. Verdeil, Robin studied the chemical compounds of which the organism is composed. Despite its display of useful information, the resulting 'Traité de chimie anatomique et physiologique, normale et pathologique' (1852-1853), showed that research oriented in this direction led at that time to a dead end and that, given the contemporary state of chemical knowledge, the superiority of a morphological approach was undeniable."].
