Product Description
diFiore’s Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations, Eleventh Edition, explains basic histology concepts through full-color, schematic illustrations. These illustrations are supplemented by more than 450 digitized full-color online photomicrographs of histological images. Part One explains tissues and their relationship to their systems; Part Two addresses organs in a similar way.
Targeting undergraduate, allied health and first and second year medical students, the Eleventh Edition includes new and enhanced images through redrawing and digitization to provide increased detail. This edition also features updated illustrations and information on the functions of cells, tissues, and organs of the body based on advances in research and expert recommendations.
The atlas’ student-friendly “Functional Correlations” sections help students study structure and function together. Students also benefit from a “realistic” perspective as more than 70 micrographs appear adjacent to color illustrations.
A companion Website offers student and instructor versions of diFiore’s Interactive Atlas with all of the images from the book.

I’m a med student and found this study guide just awesome. The pictures make histology much easier to learn and helped me of course with my histology lab. For class exams, I used the following which was also awesome: Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi, which is also on amazon. This last study guide was quite thorough with the type of questions to look out for on my medical histology exams. It proved very valuable since it helped me get very good grades. Both books are very valuable and should help any med student.

Good reference for microscopic anatomy. It is with sufficient text that explains topics. It’s better if it had a hardbound version.

I am a medical student and I actually had the main author as my instructor – Victor Eroshenko.
The atlas is helpful, although the most helpful part is the CD. If you have histology lab as part of your course, the CD is helpful for giving tissue slides, labels, and descriptions. If you don’t have a lab as part of your course, I’m not sure if this text is necessary.
I had the opportunity to look at the 2007 and the 2005 editions, and there doesn’t seem to be much difference. Save yourself a lot of money and buy the tenth edition!
