Advanced Techniques in Diagnostic Cellular Pathology

There is an increasing need for an understanding of the scientific basis of cellular pathology to facilitate a growing trend towards inter-disciplinary understanding in biomedical sciences. Diagnostic Cellular Pathology: Principles and Techniques will provide biomedical science students and professionals with the necessary background information, principles and methodology of advanced techniques to assist diagnosis in the modern cellular pathology laboratory. Each chapter is carefully structured to introduce the very latest techniques and describe their clinical purpose, principle, method and application in cellular pathology. The advantages of various methods for preparing, observing and demonstrating cells and tissues employed to assist in diagnosis are explored, in addition to the use of quantitative methods in the detection and diagnosis of disease. An accompanying web site will present full colour digital images of microscope slides, advanced protocols that the book can reference, appendices and web links. Diagnostic Cellular Pathology: Principles and Techniques will prove invaluable for newly qualified postgraduates needing to get up to speed on a broad range of analytical techniques and will also appeal to professionals working in diagnostic, industrial and research laboratories for continual professional development and training.
