Histochemical and Cytochemical Methods of Visualization

Beschreibung

Histochemistry and cytochemistry are important fields for studying the inner workings of cells and tissues of the body. With chapters written by specialists teaching the methods or using them in research, this volume describes the essential techniques that can be used for histochemical investigations in both light and transmission electron microscopy. A survey of classical as well as specialized methods of visualization, it provides a set of basic techniques which can be adapted for various circumstances and offers a conceptual framework to help readers apply protocols to specific models. A 16-page insert supplies color illustrations to enhance the text.
