rather than paying a lab to do it for you? Want to provide
your clients with a faster service?

ideal quick reference for the busy veterinarian in first opinion

Created to be used alongside the microscope, hundreds of high
quality colour photos will help you to identify normal cell types
and abnormal cytology, including both non-neoplastic and neoplastic
lesions. It describes in a clear and concise manner the most common
lesions and related disorders encountered in a practice setting.
The concise format means that you can quickly find exactly what
you’re looking for.
Covering indications for cytological investigation, collection
techniques and the evaluation and interpretation of findings, this
