Dr Gene L. Gulati, world-renowned educator, with his colleague Dr Jaime Caro, have brought together a comprehensive practical colour atlas of the characteristics and clinical relevance of individual normal and abnormal cells, and the morphologic findings associated with various clinical conditions. Hundreds of photomicrographs and concise, clear definitions aid in the differentiation of blood smears so critical in clarifying or establishing diagnoses in the clinical laboratory. Succinct descriptions are provided for nearly all blood smear findings that may be encountered in daily practice. In fact, the comprehensive collection of high-quality photomicrographs reproduced in this outstanding atlas are actually those encountered by the authors in their lifetime of daily practice in hematology.
