Techniques of Insect Histology - Benjamin Weiss
39,80 inkl. MwSt
Insects are omnipresent, ancient, extremely ecologically successful and have fascinated mankind for thousands of years. They remain the focus of numerous scientific studies that help us understand how these captivating organisms work. An important subject in this regard is histology, which significantly contributes to our understanding of the structure of organ-specific tissues, the relationships and connections between organs, and insect anatomy in general. To view histological sections under the microscope, it is necessary to prepare and process the tissue accordingly. To this end, histological techniques that allow the preparation of thin tissue sections through various steps can be utilized. Numerous methods on this subject are known from human medicine, but in most cases they are not suitable for the preparation of insects, because they differ too much from human specimens in morphology, consistency and specimen diversity. This textbook combines the theoretical knowledge of insect histological preparation with a collection of practical methods. In addition to the instructions and corresponding protocols, the necessary methodological background and equipment information are taught in a descriptive manner. This manual is aimed at scientists, students and technicians and will be a useful aid in your laboratory.
