This text is one of the most valuable texts in my collection. The different types of pictures (electron microscopy, slides of H & E or silver stains, etc) encourages learning anatomy more in-depth. The picture and print quality is crystal-clear.The Junqueira's Histology text does an excellent job of teaching you about the human body because it ties anatomy and physiology concepts to actual pictures of cells and tissues. It is both an anatomy text and a microscopic histology text, all in one.Also, I found the concepts to be more up-to-date than most of my other so-called "current" anatomy and physiology texts.The book arrived promptly from the seller.

I always try to have a look inside books before buying on . Before buying this Atlas , i compared it with DiFore , BRS Cell biology and histology , Wheater's and others . i was a little skeptical but after receiving the book i was glad to have chosen this one . The text is excellent with all the required basic histology as well as pertinent clinical implications. I also liked the diagrams , electron Scans and images . Some reviewers have said that the images are not as good as some other atlas but i dont agree with them . I have studied this Atlas in detail for understanding histology for USMLE exams and I didnt see any deficiency in the images , diagrams and Scans and it clarified my concepts of many things which i didnt know before despite passing Step1 and Step 2 Ck exams. For the first time it clarified my understanding of the structural and functional histology of Bone , hematopoiesis , lymphoid organs ( specially Lymph nodes and Spleen organization ) , Skin , Connective Tissues , and Cellular organelles like details of Ribosomes , mitochondria, golgi cisternae and the Roguh and smooth endoplasmic reticulum , though i had studied those chapters in other histology books and atlases . One thing i liked the most is the initial chapter of different types of Stains and Microscopies ( e.g Dark Filed , Light , Fluorescent , Scanning Electron , Transmission Electron etc ) and immunohistochemical techniques. That was the main thing which helped me in understanding the ways we study and interpret histological organization and details . The only complaint I have is with the ink used in the printing of the text . The text gets a little blurred if rubbed during reading with Sweaty hands , or some types of highlights but that is related to this book's quality of paper and ink and does not deduct any marks in terms of the knowledge and the beautiful images this book contains . The book is certainly thorough and long but i want to point out that almost every topic is repeated for most of its part in the details given under the images . Many times I crossed some of the repeated details ( though given from a little different angle from the main text ) under some of the images and figures . In one way it does prove to reinforce the concept given in the main text but after giving a thorough read to the whole book , you may decide to skip or cross some of the text given almost twice throughout the book . So in essence it has the effect of reducing the material you will read in the second read significantly , I will say at least one fifth to one fourth of the book . you can have a look inside the book on and see it yourself by reading a topic .

The first edition of this great book was published in 1971 in Portuguese. I didn't discover it until 1986 (4th edition). This is one of the solid foundation of medical knowledge from Brazil, translated into many languages. The English edition first appeared in 1975.I always go back to basic sciences such as histology (= with emphasis on cell biology) to understand the way different organs and systems work in concert with each other. Without the knowledge of cell biology and physiology, you would be only a doctor treating symptoms rather than getting into the root of problems. This histology book contains a great deal of knowledge of physiology as well. It is lucid, simple, illustrated, comprehensive and concise.

I already had a histology textbook and figured I didn't need to buy another. Well after looking at another student's text (this one) I was impressed by how in depth it was and the material it covers. I like this book and would recommend it to others!

Very useful text, clear diagrams and organization. As an undergraduate student enrolled in a graduate level histology course, this text has been extremely helpful and has contributed to my success in the course.

I like this book a lot. It gives me more detail than I find in my anatomy book. I find that because it magnifies the subject matter closer, it allows me to learn anatomy and physiology better and quicker. Sometimes in a anatomy text it, the diagrams are not clear on the labeling due to the macro prospective of the book. In this book, it magnifies the subject matter, allowing for greater understanding of anatomy and physiology.

I bought this book for veterinary school as it was a required textbook. I was so pleased to find this on as it is much more expensive to buy in the bookstore. I really enjoyed this book.As far as medical books go, I thought this one was easy to understand. It does a great job at explaining things and was a perfect supplementation to my class. This really help understand lectures and notes. It helped even more when I needed to study for the test as this is what I reference the most. I was very pleased by the book.

This book has set the standard for histology, just even by the pictures alone. My professor uses them in his class lectures daily. The organization of the book is very logical in that it describes basic cellular and tissue structure prior to organizing systemically. I would recommend it for anyone studying histology.
