About this title

Synopsis

Outlines Of Practical Histology, The Notes Of The Histological Section Of The Class Of Practical Physiol. Held In The Univ. Of Edinburgh by William Rutherford. This 19th-century instructional text provides a practical framework for learning histology through hands-on laboratory demonstrations. The book covers essential apparatus and methods for microscopy, including preparation of tissues, staining, embedding, and sectioning, and explains fundamentals of optics and microscope testing. It presents a sequence of histological demonstrations (e.g., Brownian movement; tissues from connective tissues, cartilage, bone, muscle, nerve, blood vessels, lymphatics, uterus, ovary, tongue, stomach, intestine, liver, kidney, skin, eye, tooth) arranged as Part II and Part IV General Methods, with Part III detailing living tissues and living-tissue experiments. It emphasizes the regimental or laboratory-based teaching method, the “notes” nature of the course, and the role of the teacher in demonstrations. This edition preserves the historical methods of the era, including fixatives such as chromic acid, bichromates, osmic acid, and methods of mounting in dammar or glycerine.
