Overview

Histopathology describes the processes and practices that are central to the role of the histopathologist from pre-sampling to diagnosis to laboratory management. An understanding of the physiology of cells and tissue is vital for the successful identification of clinical conditions and, as such, this book beginnings by laying out the key features of both and their significance for diagnosis. But histopathology relies heavily on optical technology and microscopy is covered in detail from fixing, through staining to light and electron imaging methods. A complete course on the concepts and skills needed for a biomedical scientist to work within a functioning histopathology laboratory.

Reviews

...well-written, systematically laid-out and nicely-illustrated text... will make a valuable addition to any library associated with laboratories performing histopathological techniques. Judy Brincat, Histology Group of Victoria The book is well illustrated with numerous high quality photomicrographs and well thought out diagrams. Case studies on classic lesions encountered in everyday practice are especially illustrative for the practice of histopathology... an excellent textbook for anybody interested in pursuing a career involving histopathology.
