Product Description
Ideal for identifying cells at the microscope, this atlas covers the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, basic maturation of the blood cell lines, and discussions of a variety of clinical disorders. Over 400 photographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies.brbrulliNumerous illustrations include excellent schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs./liliIntroductory chapters succinctly describe the peripheral blood smear, its preparation and examination, and hematopoiesis in general./liliCoverage of cellular maturation includes schematics that illustrate the maturation of each cell line individually and highlight the cell in question./liliDescriptions for each cell type include size, reference intervals, and nuclear and cytoplasmic characteristics./liliBody Fluids chapter covers the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens./liliWhite blood cell differential table shows cells found in a normal white blood cell differential./liliOverview of hematopoiesis includes a schematic drawing along with a detailed presentation of each cell, demonstrating the relationship between individual stages of hematopoiesis and the overall development scheme./liliMorphologic abnormalities are presented in chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a schematic description of each cell, to provide correlations to various disease states./liliCoverage of common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, aids in classifying malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders./liliSpiral binding and a compact size make this book easy to use in a laboratory setting./li/ulbrbrulliNEW Normal Newborn Peripheral Blood Morphology chapter covers the normal cells found in neonatal blood./liliMore examples of specific cells and disorders allow you to compare abnormal cells to each other and to normal cells, differentiating those that are similar./liliExpanded Evolve resources include case studies, study questions, links to related websites, and content updates./li/ul

 Nice Desktop Atlas November 25, 2008
D. Clark (Carnarvon, Western Australia)
This atlas is a nice quick reference for the desktop. It is spiral bound and soft covered, so not the fanciest book on the shelf, but definitely worth a look. It has extremely good photos and diagrams of a wide range of haematalogical conditions, however the malaria section lets the book down - it is alright, but not up to the same standard as the rest of the book. br / br /All in all, a welcome addition to any haematology library.
 A great study helper! October 4, 2008
J.B. (MT, USA)
This was a required text for my CLS Hematology course, and I can see why. A student may not see slides that are exactly like the textbook, but this lab atlas shows various pictures items which helps when having to identify items on real slides.

This book was my best friend through hematology and advanced hematology. Exceptional pictures of all cells and their developmental stages, as well as many pictures of various abnormalities. I used it through two heme classes and to brush up before clinicals. My clinical site was very impressed with the atlas and purchased one to keep with their reference materials.
