Overview

The second edition of this atlas has been revised and greatly en-larged to take account of recent diagnostic advances in the field of haematology. It contains 750 color photomicrographs of common and less common cell types, and is intended to supplement the per-sonal study of preparations under the microscope. The photographs are grouped into five sections covering red cells and their precursors; nonerythroid cells of myeloid origin; lympho-cytes, plasma cells and their derivatives and precursors; miscella-neous cells of blood and marrow, including foreign cells and para-sites; and the imprint cytology of lymph nodes and spleen. Each section is preceded by a brief introduction, and an appendix pro-vides technical details of staining methods. The text accompanying the illustrations serves chiefly to identify the cells, but also gives explanations of certain unusual appearances and the cytochemical reactions where necessary. A Colour Atlas of Haematological Cytology will be useful to students of medicine and medical laboratory science, as well as to doctors and technicians specializing in the diagnosis of haematological disease.

Reviews

: ""The new edition of this atlas has been considerately enlarged and now contains 750 colour photomicrographs compared with the 349 of the previous edition. The selection of material is well balanced without undue emphasis on rarities and in the present climate of in-creasing interest in detailed classification of leukaemias and other lymphoid disorders it is good to see that red cells in erythroblast morphology remains well represented. . . This is probably the best general atlas of haematology available. . . it is excellent value for money."": British Journal of Haematology: ""Haematologists in training require an atlas of high quality photomi-crographs. . . The 1969 first edition of Hayhoe and Flemans' atlas was widely appreciated and now it appears in a significantly im-proved second edition with more that double the number of pho-tomicrographs, higher quality of reproduction and a more efficient and attractive layout."": Journal of Clinical Pathology: ""The photographic quality is splendid, with faithful colour rendering which permits confident recognition and distinction of morphological features."": British Journal of Hospital Medicine
