What (who) is Meissner's corpuscle - definition
TYPE OF MECHANORECEPTOR THAT DETECTS LIGHT TOUCH
Messner's corpuscle; Messier corpuscle; Meissner's Corpuscle; Meissner's Corpuscles; Tactile corpuscles of Wagner and Meissner; Meissner corpuscle end-organ; Meissner corpuscle; Meissner’s corpuscles; Meisner's corpuscle; Meissner's corpuscles; Meissner's corpuscle; Corpusculum tactus; Meissners corpuscles; Meissners corpuscle; Tactile corpuscles; Wagner-meissner corpuscle
Tactile corpuscle
Tactile corpuscles or Meissner's corpuscles are a type of mechanoreceptor discovered by anatomist Georg Meissner (1829–1905) and Rudolf Wagner. This corpuscle is a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to pressure.

Pacinian corpuscle or lamellar corpuscle or Vater-Pacini corpuscle; is one of the four major types of mechanoreceptors (specialized nerve ending with adventitious tissue for mechanical sensation) found in mammalian skin. This type of mechanoreceptor is found in both glabrous (hairless) and hirsute (hairy) skins, viscera, joints and attached to periosteum of bone, primarily responsible for sensitivity to vibration.

Tactile corpuscle
Tactile corpuscles or Meissner's corpuscles are a type of mechanoreceptor discovered by anatomist Georg Meissner (1829–1905) and Rudolf Wagner. This corpuscle is a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to pressure. 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.
