Product Description
Ideal for identifying cells at the microscope, this atlas covers the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, basic maturation of the blood cell lines, and discussions of a variety of clinical disorders. Over 400 photographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies.
- Numerous illustrations include excellent schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs.
- Introductory chapters succinctly describe the peripheral blood smear, its preparation and examination, and hematopoiesis in general.
- Coverage of cellular maturation includes schematics that illustrate the maturation of each cell line individually and highlight the cell in question.
- Descriptions for each cell type include size, reference intervals, and nuclear and cytoplasmic characteristics.
- Body Fluids chapter covers the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens.
- White blood cell differential table shows cells found in a normal white blood cell differential.
- Overview of hematopoiesis includes a schematic drawing along with a detailed presentation of each cell, demonstrating the relationship between individual stages of hematopoiesis and the overall development scheme.
- Morphologic abnormalities are presented in chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a schematic description of each cell, to provide correlations to various disease states.
- Coverage of common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, aids in classifying malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders.
- Spiral binding and a compact size make this book easy to use in a laboratory setting.
- NEW Normal Newborn Peripheral Blood Morphology chapter covers the normal cells found in neonatal blood.
- More examples of specific cells and disorders allow you to compare abnormal cells to each other and to normal cells, differentiating those that are similar.
- Expanded Evolve resources include case studies, study questions, links to related websites, and content updates.

I bought as brand new, but it is used one the one they send me. I think is not fair to tell the customer this is new and send used one in the mail. I want to tell every one of you who will read this riveiw; they send me used one with scratch.

This is not the atlas that we used in my Hematology classes, and I wish it was! I came across this one in the lab when I started my clinical education. It is a wonderful reference. Even the Hematology specialist at the hospital uses it as a quick reference for some of the pathology. It is extremely well organized, with clear pictures, and a good description of the morphology, defining characteristics and the pathology associated with each cell type.
The first sections are also a good reference for development and differentiation of the various white blood cell lines, such as the differences between the promylocyte and mylocytes, a topic that students sometimes have difficulty which. In addition to the images of peripheral blood smears, there are micrographs, illustrations and bone marrow images.
I highly recommend this as a reference for any clinical professionals library.

This atlas is a nice quick reference for the desktop. It is spiral bound and soft covered, so not the fanciest book on the shelf, but definitely worth a look. It has extremely good photos and diagrams of a wide range of haematalogical conditions, however the malaria section lets the book down – it is alright, but not up to the same standard as the rest of the book.
All in all, a welcome addition to any haematology library.

This was a required text for my CLS Hematology course, and I can see why. A student may not see slides that are exactly like the textbook, but this lab atlas shows various pictures items which helps when having to identify items on real slides.
