Main description:

Now in its Fifth Edition, this best-selling atlas provides medical, dental, allied health, and biology students with an outstanding collection of histology images for all of the major tissue classes and body systems. This is a compact lab atlas with relevant concise text and consistent format presentation of photomicrograph plates. With a handy spiral binding that allows ease of use, it features a full-color art program comprising over 500 high-quality photomicrographs, scanning electron micrographs, and drawings. Didactic text at the beginning of each chapter includes an Introduction, Histophysiology, Clinical Correlations, and Overview. A companion Website includes an interactive atlas and a question bank. The interactive atlas contains all the photomicrographs and electron micrographs and accompanying legends from the atlas. Images may be viewed with or without the labels and/or legends, enlarged, or compared side-by-side. A "hotspot" feature allows students to self-test on the labeling.
