Abstract
Pol André Bouin was a distinguished French scientist who gained international reputation at the turn of the century for his work in histology and reproductive endocrinology. His name has been retained eponymously in the fixative he described in 1897, today known as "Bouin's fixative." The fixative that bears his name is only one of many contributions he made to academic medicine.
