Reviews

'There are numerous good textbooks on the subject, but these are necessarily complicated and contain far more information than is needed to answer the basic questions. The authors have recognised this and have set out to produce something simpler and more easily read...In conclusion, this handbook maintains the Royal Microscopical Society series tradition of bein easy to read and understand.' - The Royal College of Pathologists
