Histological and Histochemical Methods: Theory and Practice, 4th edition 4th Edition

Great book with rationale and protocol of various histological methods. Sadly the font used to print this edition is not so suitable for reading as in 2nd edition.

Exactly what I was looking for in a book with respect to staining procedures, the various steps taken within each procedure in as far as the methods and I am using it to do the cert. exam practice protocols.

The original book arrived very quickly (2-3 weeks) at my personal adress. It was in very good state except for an edge that was a little wrinkled.

Veroy theoritical but good to learn the basic chemistry

Good basic text son histochemical methods.

The best comprehensive book about the basics of histology. I have the first edition from the 70's also. During time the book is getting more detailed, covering more areas in the field. A good guide, which explains the theory behind stainings, which is often hard to find. Also, containing some good recipes with the invaluable comments of the author. Anyone is dealing with histology, or wants to know more about the whys and hows, must buy this book.

I own 10 manuals of histochemical and histological technique. I use this one 4 times as often as the other nine together. Kiernan describes most useful techniques well. His own neurological technique is unbeatable. He discusses dye chemistry thoroughly, and discusses staining mechanisms well. On top of all this, the book is an incredible bargain at [money] for the paperback.

Great book

Very Good Book
