Contents
Directed to today’s problem-based, integrated curricula in medicine and dentistry, it is also intended for allied health care professionals, clinical residents, teachers, and researchers. A pictorial guide that highlights relevant microscopic and functional features of cells, tissues and organs of the body, [15] the book has been recognized as "concisely written text with emphasis on concepts and not on details, supported by illustrations as well as light and electron micrographs". [16]
Book contents can be accessed online; its resources include an image and virtual slide [17] library with 20 high-resolution digitized light microscopic slides, 225 ‘zoomifiable’ electron micrographs, and short narrated video overviews of each of 20 chapters. [18]
A separate, updated set of Netter’s Histology Flashcards (by the same authors) is in its 2nd edition. [19] These more than 200 visual aids help in recognition and interpretation of microscopic sections at a glance, and also reinforce clinical relevance.
