The science of histochemistry is of primary importance in understanding natural phenomena, for it is a science which permits the visualization of the chemistry of a cell component in relation to the cell itself, to the organ of which the cell is a part, and often to the body as a whole. The histochemist is therefore often able to understand the intimate relationships of biological systems better than the chemist or biochemist who is involved with the study of isolated systems
