This atlas of histology is aimed at medical, dental and allied health students for use in the laboratory, as well as to give assistance for practical and didactic exams. Each chapter begins with a discussion of the structure and function of the tissue or organ system and ends with a functional summary, which allows students to see the connection between the anatomy and physiology of the subject matter presented in the chapter. Photomicrographs are arranged from low power overviews to higher magnifications.
Good book to have to supplement the Basic Histology Text and Atlas by Luiz Carlos Junqueira. Provides brief explainations and more pictures to assist you with identifying things under the microscope.
A very good review book for a medical student

I found the book nicely edited, the illustrations were priceless and contained lots of information. The theoretical content of the book though cannot be compared with Ross, this is why it can be used only as a review book. The main quality of the book is in its illustrations and images, which are truly excellent.
Excellent source for medical students

Excellent photomicrographs with explanations of each. Good review of each subject at each chapter. Can be used alone as a review book.
excellent atlas

The atlas was excellent and easy to refer to. The text, while usable, is brief and has much more information than was necessary at my undergraduate medical level. I recommend using this as an atlas and using a different text (such as Wheater) for accompanying explanations.
