"Histochemistry is the science concerned with the chemistry of microscopically visible structures. This particular branch of microbiochemistry makes use of chemical processes to examine the cell structure microscopically and render it fit for a scientific study. Histochemistry is a vital part of medical pathology and autopsy, and has earned great attention in the past decade, being explored as an exciting branch of science.

Offering researchers and students a comprehensive account of the technicalities of the science of histochemistry, the book is a valuable guide for those interested in getting a practical, enriching experience of an authoritative text on the subject." (jacket)
