Stains and Cytochemical Methods

by M.A. Hayat

Overview

The author's primary aim is to thoroughly explain the biochemical concepts governing cyhemical procedures for transmission electron microscopy. Such information provides undergraduate and graduate students, technicians, and researchers with a more profound understanding of electron micrographs, as well as the knowledge to refine existing techniques and develop new methodologies.

Editorial Reviews

A textbook/reference not only for students (undergraduate and graduate) and teachers but also for technicians and scientists not familiar with the techniques, providing a foundation in the biochemical concepts governing cytochemical procedures for transmission electron microscopy. The reader is introduced to the greatly expanded subject of cytochemistry by a discussion of principles, together with a selection of the methods, used to detect chemical substances, including antigens found in plant and animal tissues and microorganisms.
