Microscopy–Based Imaging in Pathology and Disease

This book will be composed of 20–25 chapters. The first briefer section will cover microscopy in diagnostic pathology, while the second longer section will offer review chapters highlighting how modern microscopy–based imaging methods are being employed in the investigation of diverse disease processes in both humans and animals.
