Histology; A Text and Atlas

By Johannes G. Rhodin

This book has been created for college and medical students placed in an informal learning environment of a contemporary curriculum. It is not intended to replace elaborate standard texts and atlases in the hope of assisting overburdened science students. The text is an up-to-date brief account of the structure, ultrastructure, and function of mammalian tissues, cells, and organelles. The photographs are carefully selected and organized to show sequential magnification of the same field from light microscopy to low magnification electron microscopy as well as medium and high magnification electron microscopy. The numerous electron micrographs shown at magnifications ranging from 600X to 2000X are unique in their detailed and crisp outlining of organs, tissues, and cells. These illustrations will prove to be of particularly great value in helping the student bridge the difficult gap between light microscopy and high magnification electron microscopy. The illustrations are found on the right hand page, the text and figure captions on the left. Numerals are used to identify structures in the illustrations. The student will, therefore, easily find a specific item in the picture.
