Description
This is a new edition of the standard text-reference covering the full range of histological techniques used in medical laboratories and pathology departments. Written for histotechnologists in training and in practice, the book provides a thorough grounding in all aspects of histological technology, from basic methods of section preparation and staining to advanced diagnostic techniques such as immunohistochemistry and cytology. The book provides a balance between the new and the older techniques and is a suitable resource for both the beginner in histotechnology and for the fully qualified laboratory technician.
