About Book
As in different preceding editions, the writer has cautiously evaluated the very optimistic remarks that have been supplied by means of several reviewers of this atlas. Many of these hints that fi t the format and motive of the atlas have been implemented.
As a result, the atlas, whilst preserving its major features, was once elevated in phrases of accelerated textual content material, new artwork, and extra micrographs.
Th e ordinary method to reading histology has been significantly altered. However, regard-less of how histology is introduced to the students, histology nevertheless stays one of the fundamental science publications that is imperative in appreciation and decoding new scientific discoveries.
Although most of the new advances in science stay submicroscopic, the final expectations of these findings will be in the end evaluated on their effects on person cells, tissues, and organs of an organism.
In getting ready the twelfth version of the atlas, the creator maintained its special and standard approach, namely, presenting the pupil with improved, practical full-color composite and idealized illustrations of histologic structures.
In addition, many of these illustrations are accompanied with the aid of authentic mild and transmission electron photomicrographs. Th is special method has turn out to be a famous trademark of the atlas. In addition, the morphology of these buildings is at once correlated with their quintessential functions.
This strategy permits the scholar to examine different histologic buildings and their predominant features at the identical time. Th is method and the presentation for-mat have served the wants of undergraduate, graduate, medical, veterinary, and biologic science college students in several preceding editions. The existing and extended version of the atlas continues to tackle the desires of histology students.
Several significant modifications that have been integrated into this atlas are introduced in element below.
A new function of the twelfth version is the addition of two company new chapters.
The first chapter summarizes the histologic techniques for different histological techniques, stain traits of the 9 most normally used stains, and pertinent photomicrograph examples for every stain.
The 2d chapter describes in element the phone cycle, accompanied by using each drawings and representative photomicrographs of the major tiers in the phone cycle at some stage in mitosis.
All chapters and practical correlations have been up to date and increased to reflect new scientific data and interpretations. All of the practical records is introduced in an prepared and informative way so as no longer to crush or intimidate the student.
Another company new characteristic of this atlas is the on-line inclusion of multiple-choice checks designed for undergraduate, graduate, medical, and veterinary college students that correspond to every chapter (except the methodology chapter).
As in the preceding edition, every chapter is accompanied through a complete precis in the structure of an easy-to-follow define that has additionally been multiplied to reflect new content.
Some chapters in the atlas have been moved, renamed, renumbered, and subdivided into different sections for less complicated studying and comprehension of the topics.
New pix in the atlas have been changed with original, digitized shade illustrations.
In addition, about forty four new photomicrograph images, consisting of mild and transmission electron micrographs, have been delivered to the atlas.
Currently, there is an improved use of more than a few computer-based applied sciences in histology instruction. As a result, the twelfth version of the atlas approves the pupil get admission to by a code to an interactive on-line atlas and a histology picture library with every replica of the book.
Th e interactive atlas is specifically designed to enable the college students to similarly take a look at their know-how of histologic illustrations and photomicrographs that are determined in the atlas.
Specific facets of the on line atlas encompass a labels on/labels off feature, rollover “hot spots,” and rollover labels. In addition, a self-testing feature approves the college students to exercise figuring out the elements on the images.
In addition to the interactive atlas, the college students will have get entry to to a histology library that incorporates extra than 475 digitized histology photomicrographs. All histology pictures have been separated into chapters that healthy these in the atlas, with every chapter containing an common of 20 images.
Th e library pictures are specifically designed for use by means of the college students to support the fabric that used to be earlier discovered in laboratory or lecture. An icon is positioned at relevant factors all through the text, signaling to the reader that a series of corresponding “real” micrographs is accessible on-line for evaluation and distinction with the illustrated variations discovered in the book. Consequently, these photographs do now not have any labels and are identified solely with the aid of a figure range for every chapter.
For instructors, a separate histology photograph library has been prepared, with extra than 950 accelerated and digitized photomicrograph images. Th ese pics have additionally been separated into corresponding chapters, with every picture identified with abbreviations only.
There are no labels on the pictures and every photograph can be imported into Microsoft PowerPoint and labeled by using the instructors to supply crucial records at some stage in lectures or laboratory exercises. Because there are a couple of photographs of the comparable structures, instructors can use different pix for lectures or laboratories of the equal constructions barring repetition.
New for the twelfth edition, an on-line e book will additionally be protected on the Point as properly as an interactive quiz financial institution for college students with over 380 multiple-choice questions and answers.
Th us, the modern version of the atlas ought to serve as a treasured complement in histology laboratories the place standard histology is taught both with microscopes and glass slides, or the place computer-based photographs are used as a alternative for microscopes, or in which a mixture of each methods are used interchangeably.
