This is a must book for Histology

I really enjoyed the book. It goes very well with Histology courses.It gives you feeling of three dimensional pictures of real cells like photography. Since it is like a photography, it shows external views not the section throughs but you get hundered times better understanding of the structures. just look at scanning electron picture examples in your typical cell books. This book is full of them and not just plain pictures but with some explanations similar to Histology books.

an indispensable reference

This is a fantastic visual reference book for anybody interested in microscopic and/or macroscopic anatomy. Most of the major systems are covered, although the tissue samples are usually taken from small mammals. The range of magnification is great, and provides the reader with a clear concept of the structure and function of a given organ.I'm a professional medical illustrator with a library of over 300 books, and this is one of only a few "desert island" books - ones that I wouldn't want to be without. I believe anybody with an interest in the way we're made will find it fascinating.
