An atlas on discrimination of cellular morphology in rat hematology for use in laboratories. Presents characteristics which aid in identification of cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of rats, describes abnormal cells seen in experimental rat models evoked by prototype compounds or with a spontaneous disease, and provides information on the variability within normal appearance of rats for comparison with changes induced by experimental studies. Text and color photos are prepared to support practical training, with explanatory text and facing pages of color photos illustrating cellularity and distribution at low magnification, and morphologic features at high magnification. Useful for veterinary, pharmacology, and toxicology students and new employees in research laboratories. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
