The atlas offers a comprehensive, systematic electron‑microscopy view of cell organelles and inclusions, addressing gaps left by earlier brief introductions. It is organized into three sections covering principal organelles, secretory products and other inclusions, and specialized cell‑surface structures across cell types. The book’s illustrations are excellent, generally full‑page, and vividly depict the described structures.
Everyone interested in histology and cytology, in histopathology and cytopathology, has eagerly been looking for a thorough presentation of the revelations possible with the electron microscope. Although several brief introductions to cell structure have been published before this atlas, none has provided the detailed and systematic approach seen in this volume. The book has three main divisions. The first section presents the principal organelles including nucleus, centrioles, mitochondria, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, microbodies, microtubules and filaments found in different cell types. The section on cell inclusions describes various secretory products, pigments, glycogen, lipid, and crystalline inclusions. The final section takes up various specializations in the structure of the cell surface, as seen in different cell types. The material covered is quite comprehensive and no important items have been omitted, with the exception of the extracellular substances such as elastin and collagen. The excellent illustrations, generally full-page in size, have
