Product Description
Review
"This is an excellent book that should be used by everyone starting to learn histology. It is superbly simple and colourful with informative diagrams that are clearly labelled! This book makes histology enjoyable: much better than staring for hours on end down a microscope and not knowing what you are looking at! I like the way it divides the
sections into the different body systems. The index is very useful. High-quality illustrations are provided in this book and the printing quality is excellent. I will happily recommend it to all science and medical students!"

Basic tissue types are covered in the following section, and the third section presents the microstructures of each of the major body systems. The highest-quality color light micrographs and electron micrograph images are accompanied by concise text and captions which explain the appearance, function, and clinical significance of each image.

What Can I say about this book, apart from that i've found it absoloutely essential for my recent torent of human histology 'spot tests'. The book is concise with plenty of annotated electron and light microscopy exhibits. The hand drawn pictures give a reference to what I am actually looking at. As the book is arranged in systems it is easy to intregrate with my intregrated anatomy and physiology, cell biology courses. I recommend this text-hands down!

Follows the histology part of the UCL medical course very closely. The photographs are clear and well labled. It allows easy revision.
The text alongside the photos is informative and explains well what is shown.

Histology is never amongst medical students favourite subjects, though this latest edition of Wheater's has really 'spiced-up' the subject. The histological images are countless, crystal clear and accompanied by chunks of punchy descriptive text. The drawn illustrations now appear in colour, increasing the visual appeal and user-friendliness of the book, and compliment the histological sections perfectly. The authors consistently indicate the interplay between the histology and the physiology and anatomy of the various systems, making this text an excellent accompaniment to systems-based teaching. What's more, you even get a CD-ROM to view all the images on your computer!
