This looseleaf should keep medical laboratory technicians and histopathologists fully up-to-date on the latest techniques and procedures for preparing tissue samples for histopathological examination. It covers details of day-to-day practice and also covers safety procedures and good laboratory practice in general. It includes sections dealing with investigative systems, including specialized electron microscopic procedures, aspiration cytology, lectin histochemistry, immunocytochemistry, molecular biotechniques and computer driven image analysis. It explains the motives behind the techniques, linking the laboratory methods to the clinical and diagnostic rationale.
