didnt need it:
When I was looking at reviews to see If I should buy this book last year, it would have been helpful if someone told me that this book is not going to be used very much, even as a reference. Your schools ppt/notes of histology should be sufficient to grasp the material, this atlas is superfluous.
Very good basic Histology book:
I recommend this book for those who are seeking a basic introductory book to histology. The chapters and content have a nice flow, and illustrations complement the diagrams very well. There aren't a lot of special stains featured, but more focused on basic H&E.
not a comprehensive guide to histology:
This book was required for one of my classes. My only complaint is that it doesn't have enough slides to get to know histology.
nice supplement:
Good book to have to supplement the Basic Histology Text and Atlas by Luiz Carlos Junqueira. Provides brief explainations and more pictures to assist you with identifying things under the microscope.
