Atlas of Histology with Functional correlations

The book is an excellent source of information and my friends and I loved using it with our class projects.

Excellent book to start your medical career

I'm a 2nd year medical student as of April 2006. This book helped me a lot to put the whole picture togather. I even refer back to this book when reviewing for pathology. The book title says it all...Histology pictures with functional correlations. All the body organ system presented with very good slide view pictures, which are all labeled + text explaining the labels and functional aspects of all the labels. This book helped me connect all the body organs. I highly recommend this book for basic science histology class. Start your medical career right w/ choosing the right books and this is one of them.

Di Fiore's : A Med student's savior

This Atlas is perfect for a first year medical student who has not taken histology before. It is truly better than all the rest since it presents both illustrations and as well as photos. The illustrations in particular are what allow a new student to grasp the major ideas behind a particular slide.

An invaluable reference work for Histology students

I am a senior physiology/neurobiology major taking a course in histology who is fortunate enough to have a copy of Di Fiore's atlas. In fact, I have all but substituted the atlas for the course textbook. Here's why... According to Aristotle, art captures the universal essence of things. In few places have I seen the truth of this claim as clearly as in Di Fiore's Atlas. The illustrations in this remarkable atlas truly present the structural features of tissues and organs in an idealized, universal way that has helped me identify actual, imperfect samples time after time. Not only are the images of the atlas of superb quality; the text ("functional correlations") are also top-class. In fact, Eroschenko's text is what every student dreams of: a streamlined presentation of only the most relevant information, without the choppy feel of an outline. So if you are looking for a histology atlas with excellent illustrations that show the universal features of tissues and organs and a very economical, no-nonsense text, then Di Fiore's Atlas is for you!
