Handbook of Histopathological and Histochemical Techniques (Including Museum Techniques), Third Edition is a reference guide on techniques used in histology and histochemistry, including museum techniques. This book is comprised of 36 chapters divided into six sections. After giving a brief description of the structure and contents of the cell, this book then turns to the various methods of examination of tissue cells and structures, including the smear method, vital staining, and electron microscopy. The next two sections deal with fixation, decalcification, processing, and section cutting, along with stains, impregnations, and mountants. An exhaustive survey of carbohydrate and protein histochemistry is included. Special procedures such as autoradiography, micro-incineration, and injection techniques are described. The remaining chapters focus on the preparation, mounting, and presentation of museum specimens. The book concludes with an analysis of the microscope. This monograph will be invaluable to all those with an interest in histology and histochemistry, including undergraduate students in the biological and health sciences, pathologists in both the hospital setting and experimental research, and technologists and workers in various research fields.

Revised and updated edition (1st was 1981) of a textbook on chemical and physical principles of fixation, staining and histochemistry. For students i all biological subjects using histological techniques, as well as researcher and medical laboratory technologists. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc

Histotechnology and histomorphometry are the major methodologies in bone and cartila- related research. Handbook of Histology Methods for Bone and Cartilage is an outgrowth of the editors’ own quest for information on bone and cartilage histology and histomorphometry. It is designed to be an experimental guide for personnel who work in the areas of basic and clinical bone and cartilage, orthopedic, or dental research. It is the first inclusive and organized reference book on histological and histomorphometrical techniques on bone and cartilage specimens. The topic has not previously been covered adequately by any existing books in the field. Handbook of Histology Methods for Bone and Cartilage has six major parts and is designed to be concise as well as inclusive, and more practical than theoretical. The text is simple and straightforward. Large numbers of tables, line drawings, and micro- or macro-photographs, are used to help readers better understand the content. Full bibliographies at the end of each chapter guide readers to more detailed information. A book of this length cannot discuss every method for bone and cartilage histology that has been used over the years, but it is hoped that major methods and their applications have been included.

The second edition of this well-received book provides detailed information on the basic and advanced laboratory techniques in histopathology and cytology. It offers clear guidance on the principles and techniques of routine and special laboratory techniques. It also covers advanced laboratory techniques such as immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, liquid-based cytology, polymerase chain reactions, tissue microarray, molecular technology, etc. The book's second edition covers several important recent topics with many new chapters, such as liquid biopsy, artificial neural network, digital pathology, and next-generation sequencing. Each chapter elucidates basic principle, practical methods, troubleshooting, and clinical applications of the technique. It includes multiple colored line drawings, microphotographs, and tables to illustrate each technique. The book is a helpful guide to the post-graduate students and fellows in pathology, practicing pathologists, as well as laboratory technicians, and research students.

This book, "Histopathology-An Update" is a comprehensive book that deals with the latest advances in the field of histopathology. This book will be of help to pathologists, clinicians and researchers in the latest update in histopathology of various organs.
