Dear all

A quick question. We do have Rhodin's Histology Text and Atlas which serves us well. Is there anything similar available for SEM sample identification?

Is Rhodin's atlas is still in print in South Africa, I can't get it here in the

US, it is out of print. For SEM are you aware of Richard G. Kessel and Randt H.

Greetings,

Johannes Rohdin's Histology is from 1974 and a SEM atlas I know

is from 1979: Kessel RG and Kardon RH: Tissues and Organs, a text-atlas

of scanning electron microscopy. W.H. Freeman and Company, San Francisco

ISBN 0-7167-0091-3

Best regards.

I note that the questioner is a pathologist. However, for any botanists I

suggest that "An SEM Study of Green Plants" by John N.A. Lott, published by

Mosby in St Louis 1976; ISBN 0-8016-3033-9 is excellent. - If still

available. It's over 20 years now but I still love every picture.

A great microscopy site: http://www.ultra.net.au/~pns/

I was under the impression that Kessel's book was out of print??!!
