After the death of Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781-1833), Eduard d'Alton was appointed to be his successor. From 1834 to 1854, he was Professor of Anatomy and head of the "Anatomisches Theater" at the University of Halle. In the literature we can only find little details about him. The aim is to investigate his life and work. Before he came to Halle, he was first professor at the Academy of Arts in Berlin. Then few years later he received the professorship of anatomy and physiology at the Friedrich-Wilhelm-University in Berlin. During his work as anatomist and physiologist in Halle he was rector twice, in 1845 and 1846. d'Alton worked very accurately and highly engaged. He supported the students' education very conscientiously but, since he was strict and exacting at the same time, he was not very popular. His extraordinary drawings of human and comparative anatomy earned him great recognition. In 1850, he published the "Handbuch der menschlichen Anatomie". d'Alton was mainly engaged in comparative anatomy, embryology and teratology and performed experimental embryological tests. In 1853, he published a catalogue of teratological preparations many of which can still be found in the Anatomical Collections in Halle.
约翰·弗里德里希·梅克尔（1781 - 1833）去世后，爱德华·达尔顿被任命为其继任者。1834年至1854年期间，他担任哈雷大学解剖学教授及“解剖学讲堂”负责人。在文献中，我们对他的了解甚少。本文旨在探究他的生平与工作。在来到哈雷之前，他先是柏林艺术学院的教授。几年后，他在柏林的弗里德里希 - 威廉大学获得了解剖学和生理学教授职位。在哈雷担任解剖学家和生理学家期间，他于1845年和1846年两度担任校长。达尔顿工作极为精确且全身心投入。他认真负责地支持学生教育，但由于他同时严厉苛刻，所以不太受欢迎。他绘制的人体解剖学和比较解剖学的非凡图纸为他赢得了极高的赞誉。1850年，他出版了《人体解剖学手册》。达尔顿主要从事比较解剖学、胚胎学和畸形学研究，并进行了实验胚胎学测试。1853年，他出版了一本畸形学标本目录，其中许多标本如今仍能在哈雷的解剖学藏品中找到。
