About this title

Synopsis

dvances in histotechnology continue to expand the capabilities of the histopathology laboratory, but also require continual study by practitioners to remain current. The second edition of Histotechnology; A Self-Instructional Text presents all the latest advances as well as the fundamentals that are critical to achieving the highest quality work.

Written as both reference and teaching tool Histotechnology; A Self-Instructional Text addresses the essentials of preparing histology specimens including staining and processing, laboratory safety issues, and immunohistochemistry in fourteen instructional units. Electron microscopy and enzyme histochemistry have been added to this edition to help histotechnologists preparing for the HTL(ASCP) certifying examination. Each unit presents the learning objectives of the section, explains and illustrates the technique, and then gives specific learning activities that will reinforce the information. Written as both a teaching tool and reference, the format also makes troubleshooting fast and easy.

Histotechnology is an excellent learning tool for histologic technic students, and for residents and pathologists seeking to expand their understanding of the technology used in the histopathology laboratory. It is equally well suited as a desk reference for the more common special staining techniques and their results.
