Atlas Of Descriptive Histology
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

The Atlas of Descriptive Histology is the most comprehensive histology atlas available. It covers all tissues and organs, each subject prefaced by introductory boxed text. Full-color high-resolution micrographs, gathered from colleagues both domestic and international, provide superb image quality. By showing images of the same area at successively increasing magnifications, the book provides students with an experience similar to that they would get from an actual microscope. Careful descriptions of each micrograph include those details a student should be able to recognize. Each copy of the Atlas of Descriptive Histology includes an access code that gives the student a subscription to the textbook's Companion Website. The site features a flexible image viewer that allows the student to view any of the micrographs in the book. Features of the image viewer include: * Each micrograph from each plate in the textbook is provided separately. * A zoom tool allows the student to view the micrograph at either low resolution or high resolution providing greatly increased detail. * Labels and leaders can each be displayed or hidden independently. * A self-quiz mode allows the student to test themselves on structure identification. * Each micrograph can be downloaded for incorporation into student notes or presentations.

Remember this is an atlas not a typical textbook with thorough defenitions. Instead you get a comprehensive look at slides of most of the cells, structures and tissues you need to know for most graduate level histology courses.The only minus I give this atlas is it is misssing a few structures in our lecture for which I just resorted to google instead.

This book covers an immense variety of histological images that are a good review right before a histology image test. Comments and descriptions associated with each image are extremely useful and surprisingly insightful.

good service and great book

The book was in great shape and I saved approx $20 by buying it online
