Product Description: Unique, unparalleled, the first of its kind - you've heard it all before. Filled with illustrations using advanced techniques such as transmission and high resolution scanning electron microscopy, An Atlas of Menopausal Aging rises above the hyperbole...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Describes recent developments in reproductive biology at the cellular and ultracellular levels via modern techniques of scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Material provides minireviews, key references, original data, and new technical approaches to both qualitative and quantitative analysis...read more

Product Description: Reviewing the use of advanced microscopy in the study of cell and tissue morphology, this work covers the basics of transmission, scanning, freeze-etching, high-voltage electron microscopy, cytochemistry and other microscopical techniques, with special consideration of clinical aspects...read more

Product Description: Recently, attention has been called to the role that microvascular organization plays in the functional morphology of all organs and tissues, both in normal and pathological conditions. Since its development by Murakami, the corrosion cast method for scanning electron microscopy has come to be considered one of the most efficient means in clarifying the three-dimensional features of the microcirculation of organs and tissues...read more

Product Description: Recent advances in electron microscopy have opened up new dimensions and perspectives in the field of morphology, and these are presently being integrated with biochemical and physiopathological phenomena occurring in cells, tissues, and organs...read more

Product Description: The calcified tissues have fundamental functions in the biology of organisms, not only because their strength, solidity, and elasticity permit movement and mechanical activities, and protect soft tissues against traumatic forces, but also on account of their role in mineral homeostasis...read more

Product Description: This volume, the sixth of the series, represents the natural counterpart of the previous volume, Ultra­ structure of the Digestive Tract. Unlike the latter, however, whose contents fell entirely within the domains of gastroenterology, Ultrastructure of the Extraparietal Glands of the Digestive Tract encom­ passes a few cognate sciences, such as hepatology, pancreatology, and even oral biology, which are usually dealt with separately...read more

Product Description: In the last few years, the adoption and worldwide proliferation of clinical procedures for medically assisted conception have been associated with the examination and analysis of spermatozoa, oocytes and early embryos under a variety of in vivo and in vitro conditions...read more

Product Description: When established four years ago, the scope of this international series in electron microscopy essentially was to provide an opportunity for the pUblication of selected review contributions by specialists in ultrastructural research...read more

Product Description: This unique volume may very well foreshadow the treatment of renal disease in the twenty-first century. The editors have obviously compiled and reviewed the current clinical problems in which the kidney plays a major role. They then selected as topics for chapters those in which recent scientific investigations have added significant new data...read more

Product Description: Advances in the development and application of electron microscopic techniques have occurred recently such that the electron microscope has evolved to become an essential tool in both basic and clinical research. Use of this instrument has contributed significantly to the formation of new perspectives and concepts concerning cell fine structure...read more

Product Description: Innovative microscopic techniques, introduced during the last two decades, have contributed much to creating a new picture of the dynamic architecture of the cell, which can now be more exactly correlated with specific biochemical and physiopathological events...read more
