Infos

Ultrastructure Atlas of Human Tissues presents a variety
of scanning and transmission electron microscope images of the
major systems of the human body. Photography with the electron
microscope records views of the intricate substructures and
microdesigns of objects and tissues, and reveals details within
them inaccessible to the naked eye or light microscope. Many of
these views have significance in understanding normal structure and
function, as well as disease processes. This book offers a unique
and comprehensive look at the structure and function of tissues at
the subcellular and molecular level, an important perspective in
understanding and combating diseases.

* Presents the major systems of the human body through
scanning and transmission electron microscope images

* Has images prepared almost exclusively from human
tissues

* Includes electron micrographs of common pathologies such
as fibrotic and emphysemic lung, kidney stones, sickle cell anemia,
and skin parasites

* Contains sets of 3D images in most chapters
