This essential guide can help readers identify blood type cells, which are difficult to categorize, and explains the morphologic characteristics of peripheral blood cells in detail. Some of the book's features include: color photographs that depict each stage of cell maturation in the exact sequence of development; comparative photographs of difficult-to-identify cells from different cell lines with adjacent diagrams and instructions in chart form; and an explanation of the entire differential procedure, with mathematical guidelines.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Peripheral Blood Morphology Reference Book,
By Janis Cannon, MT (ASCP) SH (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Atlas and Instruction Manual of Peripheral Blood Cell Morphology (Plastic Comb)
This is an excellent reference book for those learning to evaluate peripheral blood smears. There are sections for each cell type that focus on morphological characteristics of each maturational stage utilizing written characteristics, photomicrographs and an illustrated line drawing that labels all of the distinguishing features. This is invaluable for the learner. There are also separate sections on comparative morphology, enabling the learner to distinguish cell types that are similar (blasts vs reactive lymphs for example). Examples of many RBC and PLT morphological variants are also noted. I have used this book extensively for training of Clinical Laboratory Scientists and Pathology Residents, and recommend it highly.

Excellent resource and instructional tool,
This review is from: Color Atlas and Instruction Manual of Peripheral Blood Cell Morphology (Plastic Comb)
This is one of the finest atlases of peripheral blood cells I've ever seen. The photomicrographs are clear and definitive and the verbal and visual comparisons to aid in differentiation are excellent. Well organized and easy to find what you are looking for. Because the author used actual photomicrographs rather than drawings, she put this atlas head and shoulders above the competition.

A Complete atlas of blood cells, A MUST!!,
By Reduviid@msn.com (Akron, Ohio. U.S.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Atlas and Instruction Manual of Peripheral Blood Cell Morphology (Plastic Comb)
An outstanding book for differentiating between cell morophology in the maturation cycle. For Hematologist that read manual diffs. its a must!!
