'''Meissner's corpuscles''' are a type of mechanoreceptor discovered by anatomist Georg Meissner ({{LifeData|1829|1905}}) and Rudolf Wagner. <ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.whonamedit.com/doctor.cfm/3236.html |title=Georg Meissner |last= |first= |accessdate=2020-10-21}}</ref><ref>{{REFjournal |last=Paré |first=Michel |author-link= |last2=Elde |first2=Robert |author2-link= |last3=Mazurkiewicz |first3=Joseph E. |author3-link= |last4= |first4= |author4-link= |last5= |first5= |author5-link= |last6= |first6= |author6-link= |last7= |first7= |author7-link= |last8= |first8= |author8-link= |last9= |first9= |author9-link= |etal=no |title=The Meissner Corpuscle Revised: A Multiafferented Mechanoreceptor with Nociceptor Immunochemical Properties |trans-title= |language=English |journal=The Journal of Neuroscience |location= |date=2001-09-15 |volume=21 |issue=18 |pages=7236-46 |url=https://www.jneurosci.org/content/21/18/7236.full |archived= |quote= |pubmedID= |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.1523/JNEUROSCI.21-18-07236.2001 |accessdate=2020-10-21}}</ref> They are a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to light touch. In particular, they have their highest sensitivity (lowest threshold) when sensing vibrations between 10 and 50 hertz. They are rapidly adaptive receptors. They are most concentrated in thick hairless skin, especially at the finger pads.
