Editorial Reviews

Review

Aus den Rezensionen:  “... Makro- und Mikrofotografien sind ausnahmslos von hervorragender Qualität mit gutem Bildformat, keine Minifotos. Oftmals wird die relevante Dynamik der pathologischen Abläufe ausführlich dargestellt, wichtige zellulare Details mit Pfeilmarkierungen hervorgehoben. Die gesamten makroskopischen Bilder sind in Übersicht und Nahaufnahme gestochen scharf. ... alle BiIder sind in Farbe. Auswahl, Anordnung und Qualität der thematischen Bildmotive lassen die hohen Ansprüche und Professionalität des Autorenteams eindeutig erkennen. ... ein aktuelles Literaturregister am Ende jedes Kapitels runden den positiven Eindruck ab ...“ (Dr. Andreas Kiefer, in: Käntner Ärztezeitung, September/2010, Issue 9)
