"The Ultrastructure Atlas of Human Tissues presents a variety of scanning and transmission electron microscope images of the major systems of the human body. Photography with the electron microscope records views of the intricate substructures and micro-designs of objects and tissues, and reveals details within them inaccessible to the naked eye or light microscope. Many of these views have significance in understanding normal structure and function, as well as disease processes. The Ultrastructure Atlas of Human Tissue offers a unique and comprehensive look at the structure and function of tissues at the sub-cellular and molecular level, an important perspective in the understanding and combating disease"--Provided by publisher.
