1833 lithograph of Berres by Josef Kriehuber.

Christian Joseph Berres Edler von Perez (18 March 1796, Göding – 24 December 1844, Vienna) was an Austrian anatomist.

He studied surgery in Vienna, and soon afterwards served as a professor of anatomy at Lemberg. In 1831 he was appointed professor of anatomy at the University of Vienna.[1]

Known for his work in microscopic anatomy, Berres was a pioneer of photomicrography, reportedly producing photomicrographs via the daguerreotype method as early as 1839.[2]
