Description

Electron Microscopic Cytochemistry and Immunocytochemistry in Biomedicine provides up-to-date, comprehensive surveys and descriptions of electron microscopic cytochemical and immunocytochemical methods. It also reviews selected topics of cell biology, pathology, histology, and biomedicine. These reviews illustrate the fundamental contributions of electron microscopic cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry to biology and pathology. By bringing together methodology and the application of methods, this book presents a broad discussion of the contributions, potentials, and limitations of cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry. Electron Microscopic Cytochemistry and Immunocytochemistry in Biomedicine will be a useful reference volume for cell biologists, histologists, anatomists, pathologists, physiologists, immunologists, and clinical researchers concerned with the basic mechanisms of diseases.
