Histology: The study of the form of structures seen under the microscope (light, electron, infrared ). Also called microscopic anatomy, as opposed to gross anatomy which involves structures that can be observed with the naked eye.

Anatomy was once a cutting up because the structure of the body was originally learned through dissecting it. The word histology came from the Greek histo- meaning tissue + logos, treatise.
