Functional Ultrastructure: Atlas of tissue biology and pathology

This atlas of functional ultrastructure provides a detailed insight into the complex structure and organisation of cells and tissues, and specific functions fulfilled by the various cellular organelles, including the dynamics of the different processes inside cells.
The large collection of electron micrographs, together with those from immunoelectron microscopy, is complemented by thorough explanatory texts and schemes. Emphasis was placed on an integrated view of structure and function to show that subcellular organelles provide the structural foundation for fundamental processes of living organisms.
Specialised cell types form the various tissues, and principles of tissue organisation are presented.
Under various conditions of disease, characteristic structural alterations may occur which are illustrated with examples thus providing a valuable source of information for scientists and students of Medicine and Biological Sciences, particularly of Histology, Cell and Molecular Biology.
