5.0 out of 5 stars Freida Carson Histology review, July 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Histotechnology: A Self-Instructional Text (Hardcover)

I think this is one of the best instructional histology books I have seen. It gives a solid background of the information needed to certify with the board of registry and allows a individual to learn on there own while working in the histo laboratory. This book has helped me to grasp all basis in the subject while keeping it interesting and not dull. I strongly suggest this book along with the instructional workbook for anyone who is starting out in the field of histology. It will be worth your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Most Over-rated text in Histotechnology, January 23, 2009

This review is from: Histotechnology: A Self-Instructional Text (Slide)

This is without doubt, the most over-rated histotechnology textbook on the market. The reason for it's success is because it has been pushed by the ASCP and is used for the foundation of the ASCP histotechnology examination (again extremely poor curriculum and examination).
If you really want to understand the science behind histotechnology and not a cook-book format, you must read either John Kiernan's "Histological and Histochemical Methods: Theory and Practice" or John Bancroft's "Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques"

5.0 out of 5 stars From veterinarian and pathologis, June 8, 2004

This review is from: Histotechnology: A Self-Instructional Text (Hardcover)

This is with no doubt one of the best book written in the field of histology and pathohistology. I used this book intensively while writing my research thesis. The book is very professional and it is written in a "user friendly" manner.

Excellent reference book for every pathology, histology student and laboratory.
