Designed specifically as a guide for students, The Art of Examining and Interpreting Histologic Preparations: A Student Handbook provides instruction on the examination and interpretation of tissue sections seen under the light microscope. Professor Krause's clear, expert narrative explains how to break down, examine, and interpret each tissue or organ encountered without regard to any given slide from a specific slide collection and presents a systematic method that can be used to examine histological preparations from any collection. The book opens with "Getting Started," an introductory chapter that includes what to look for, making sketches, how to examine histologic preparations, cytology, and the basic tissue types. The remaining chapters cover systems, organs, or types of tissue. Each chapter contains space for sketches and labels and encourages the creation of a personalized atlas within the handbook.

The Art of Examining and Interpreting Histologic Preparations: A Student Handbook gives students a head start in learning this art.
