Clinical Hematology Atlas - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 5th Edition
Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
Help your students learn to accurately identify cells at the microscope with Clinical Hematology Atlas, 5th Edition. An excellent companion to Rodak's Hematology: Clinical Principles & Applications, this award-winning atlas offers complete coverage of the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, maturation of the blood cell lines, and information on a variety of clinical disorders. Nearly 500 photomicrographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs vividly illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies so students can be certain they are making accurate conclusions in the lab.

- Schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs are found in every chapter to visually enhance the understanding of hematologic cellular morphology.
- Chapter on normal newborn peripheral blood morphology covers the normal cells found in neonatal blood.
- Morphologic abnormalities are covered in the chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a description of each cell, in a schematic fashion.
- Chapter on body fluids illustrates the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens.
- The most common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, are featured in the leukemia chapters to help students classify both malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders.
- Chapter featuring morphologic changes after myeloid hematopoietic growth factors is included in the text.
- Small trim size, concise text, and spiral binding make it easy for students to reference the atlas in the laboratory.
- Educator resources on the Evolve companion site include an image collection.
- Student resources on the Evolve companion site feature student review questions and summary tables to further enhance their learning experience.
