What may look like a beautiful flower painting or an abstract landscape to the untrained eye is actually the remarkable microscopy of Jose Luis Calvo.

Butterfly wings are in fact, a light micrograph of the Spinal Cord. What resembles a tree at sunset is a Purkinje Neuron, and green mountains are melanin of the human skin.

Like another student from Madrid University, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Calvo's work is not only medically valuable but artistically rendered.

Jose Luis Calvo is a respected expert in his field but also the Chair of Histology (currently of Cellular Biology) at the University of Madrid.

As a professor of Cytology, Histology, Embryology, Microscopic Organography, and Genetics for over 35 years, Jose has instructed several thousand students.

And he has published scientific papers in numerous periodicals. Calvo has been a founding member of the Spanish Society of Histology, the European Pineal Study Group, and the European Neuroscience Society.
