Atlas of Comparative Diagnostic and Experimental Hematology

A vital resource on blood and bone marrow cell morphology in laboratory animals, this is an essential reference for clinical pathologists in diagnostic laboratories and in medical or veterinary research. It contains over 400 high quality color images of normal and abnormal cells from the peripheral blood and bone marrow from a variety of animals encountered in laboratory settings. These are structured in chapters by species, and accompanied by clear explanatory notes. This fully revised new edition covers the most recent developments in laboratory animal hematology, including parameters measured by the latest generation of analyzers.
KEY FEATURESContains over 400 full color photographs of normal and abnormal blood cells along with descriptive textIncludes new chapter on flow cytometry and its application as a means of identifying abnormalities in cell marker expressionCovers a wide range of laboratory animal species, as well as those used in clinical veterinary trialsReflects most recent developments in the field with parameters measured by the latest generation of analyzers
