French term

des corps de plus en plus fins

French to English Medical Media / Multimedia
Alors, la phrase est la suivante:

Le regard de l' homme se porte ainsi sur des corps de plus en plus fins.

Il s' agit de l' histoire de l' anatomie.
(...Le médecin s' intéresse désormais a l' anatomie moléculaire dont chaque perturbation crée la maladie...)

I was thinking of something ending like this: "...attracted man's attention". But, what about the first part of my English phrase?

Yes, I refer to "man" as in human being, mankind.

bodies that are ever smaller

Mankind is focusing on bodies that are ever smaller.
Or
Man's attention is on bodies that are getting smaller.

Bodies as in "cell body", that way, you keep the play on words.
