"The text remains straightforward and unencumbered and includesdescriptions of cell morphology that complement the excellentimages. Higher magnification insets for viewing specific featuresare a useful addition. Common mistakes of misidentification aredescribed, as are familiar artifacts and pseudoinclusions. The textis supplemented by a CD-ROM containing an additional 2,109 imagesthat can be viewed in either search or random mode. Descriptions ofthe images can be hidden if a reader wants to conductself-assessments." (American Journal of Veterinary Research,July 2009)
