An Atlas of Histology

The beginning student of histology is frequently confronted by a paradox: diagrams in many books that illustrate human microanatomy in a simplified, cartoon-like manner are easy to understand, but are difficult to relate to actual tissue specimens or photographs. This magnificent atlas of human microanatomy was designed to help histology students understand the complex structures they encounter when viewing microscopic sections of tissues. It is designed to bridge the gap between textbook diagrams and the complex reality of histological preparations. Instead of simply depicting an individual section, each drawing is a compilation of the key structures and features seen in many preparations from similar tissues or organs. The atlas will be invaluable to students in a range of life science and medical disciplines including human and veterinary medicine, dentistry, mammalian biology, pharmacy, and nursing.
