Synopsis

Both a book and CD-ROM multimedia resource, Digital Histology provides a complete introduction to histology. Superbly clear and thoroughly labeled images and illustrations complement the text's elegant navigation structure. This new second edition contains over 1,200 light and electron microscopic images (almost 500 more images than in the first edition), each with superimposable labels and descriptive legends. While the printed book provides a handy, consistently structured outline for students (and teachers) review of key issues in the study of human histology, the CD-ROM is an interactive, annotated digital color atlas of micrographs.

About this title

Review

"Overall I thought this text was a good interactive learning tool. It provides a thorough introduction to histology for young pathologists with limited undergraduate experience and a useful revision too. Additionally, it would not look out of place as a basic histology resource in most pathology routine rooms ." (The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, 1 July 2011)
