Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analytical Morphology is a new discipline dealing with the analysis of cell and tissue components using analytical maneuvers that go beyond those of conventional morphology and histopathology. It utilizes new advances in other disciplines, such as immunology, molecular biology, laser technology, microwave technology and computer science, to highlight cellular components such as peptides, proteins, or nucleotide sequences through chemical, physical, immunological, or molecular biological reactions. These methods include immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, in situ PCR, antigen retrieval, image analysis, and the like. The book is intended for morphological scientists, pathologists, advanced students, and technicians who are interested in keeping abreast of this rapidly emerging discipline.
