From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodor Ludwig Wilhelm von Bischoff (born 1807 in Hannover; died 1882) was a German biologist.

He made a special study of embryology; was professor of Anatomy at Heidelberg, of Physiology at Gießen, and of both at Munich.

He is best known for his monographies of deer, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits, especially towards their (embryonic) development. His studies concerning animal metabolism by measuring urea were less successful, as was his research of the anatomy of skull and brain.
