Humason's Animal Tissue Techniques is the fifth edition of Animal Tissue Techniques by Gretchen L. Humason
Description and Table of Contents
Description
Gretchen L. Humason began her study of zoology and histological procedures in the 1920s. Passing away in 1991, Humason left behind over half a century of research study and instruction. Now, true to the traditions of Humason and based on her philosophies, expertise and recommendations, Janice K. Presnell and Martin Schreibman bring us the newly revised fifth edition of Humason's literary contributions to the theory and operation of histotechnology. Drawing on her life's work, "Humason's Animal Tissue Techniques" presents basic and standard tissue study procedures as well as specialized histological techniques. Designed as a guide to the principles and methods involved in histotechnology, the text begins with an overview of the history of microtechnology and laboratory safety. It then proceeds to review basic procedures such as fixation, dehydration and staining methods for specific tissue elements. Also discussed are special procedures and considerations: histochemistry, immunohistochemical methods, microwave histology, sex chromatin and chromosomes, preparation of invertebrate whole mounts and sections, and much more.
