Atlas of Descriptive HistologyA classic lab tool, Ross et al.s' Atlas of Descriptive Histology is the most comprehensive book of its kind available, covering all human tissues and organs through carefully annotated, high-quality micrographs. By showing images of the same area at successively increasing magnifications, the book provides students with an experience similar to that they would get from an actual microscope. This ability to show the inner workings of the body with such scrutiny makes the book an incomparable learning aid for students. |
