Atlas of Comparative Diagnostic and Experimental Hematology [PDF ebook] 

Support

A vital resource on blood and bone marrow cell morphology in
laboratory animal medicine. This fully revised new edition is an
essential reference for clinical pathologists in diagnostic
laboratories, and medical or veterinary research. The atlas
contains over 400 color images of cells from the peripheral blood
and bone marrow from a variety of animals encountered in laboratory
animal medicine, in health and disease.
Key features:
* New chapter on flow cytometry and its application in terms of
routine analyses as a means of identifying abnormalities in cell
marker expression, which is of particular relevance for
pre-clinical safety assessment
* Covers the most recent developments in laboratory animal
hematology, including parameters measured by the latest generation
of analyzers
* Coverage of a wide range of laboratory animal species, as well
as those used in clinical veterinary trials
* Photomicrographs present normal and abnormal blood cells from a
variety of hematological conditions along with descriptive
