comprehend diseased tissues and understand the complex assays routinely used in the care of patients with hematological diseases.The atlas includes sets of large, brilliantly sharp, color-balanced photomicrographs of "pertinent diagnostic fields" taken through a microscope equipped with high aperture objectives and an ultra high-resolution camera. The book and companion website are designed with many color pictures, diagrams, and tables to encourage readers to use "algorithmic" approaches to establishing diagnoses.The book features a comprehensive pictorial collection of diseases, including all of the major diseases outlined in the Wintrobe text and all of the major hematolymphoid disorders recognized by the World Health Organization. Two complementary formats allow readers to approach hematological diseases from either the perspective of classical disease categorization that mirrors the format of Wintrobe's text, or by an image-directed approach that is based upon morphological pattern recognition in diseased tissues.A companion website includes the fully searchable text, images that can be viewed using virtual microscopy with a zoom feature, and approximately 80 minutes of instructional video complete with full audio.
