Synopsis

Extensively illustrated with photographs, line drawings, scanning electron micrographs, color photomicrographs, and specimen photos, this best-selling laboratory manual follows a body systems approach and uses a clear, accessible writing style. The numerous, well-developed exercises require users to make microscopic examinations of cells and tissues, observe chemical reactions, perform dissections, record data, and then analyze the results of their work.
