1. An introduction to histological techniques. 2.Histological techniques are not always covered in sufficient detail for some post graduate courses. 3. Issues in Toxicology, Toxicology Research 4. Early-Mid career toxicologists, biomedical scientists, biochemists 5. Detailed introduction to tissue handling and examining techniques aimed at a post graduate market

This book will be an essential handbook for anyone wanting to learn more about histological methods and how to apply them successfully.

Histological techniques form the basis of many areas of research, yet they can often be poorly understood. Aimed at postgraduate students and those at an early stage of their career, this title provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the techniques and how to apply them successfully.

Arvustused

"Chapters 5, 6, and 7 constitute the core of the book and the most useful information for the target audience as well as for other professionals who are interested in understanding how tissue preparation occurs in a regular basis."







"some helpful hints to toxicologists, particularly in their formative years on how histology works. As such it is a valuable resource."







"The section on Introduction to Histopathology covers much ground in a succinct fashion and should be very useful to the audience in mind. It is factual and well organized. The section on the microscope is extensive and well written and should be useful to beginning pathologists as well as toxicologists and would be a good reference section to all interested in this field."







"In summary, this book is a valuable resource for training toxicologists, pathologists, and technicians, and it will be a good addition to ones reference library." * International Journal of Toxicology, 2015, Vol. 34(2) 211-214 *
