Microscopic examination remains central to identifying the pathological basis of diseases, allowing visualization of tissue architecture and cellular abnormalities. This book presents a detailed overview of tissue processing, staining techniques, and histological interpretation across organ systems. It guides the reader through common diagnostic patterns seen in inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic conditions. Emphasis is placed on correlating microscopic features with clinical findings and gross pathology. The structure is tailored for learners developing diagnostic skills, with annotated images, differential diagnoses, and common artifacts. Special sections also highlight normal histology to aid comparative understanding. This approach promotes diagnostic accuracy in laboratory and clinical settings.
Callum Sharpe is an experienced educator in histology and pathological microscopy, known for his visual teaching methods and illustrative publications. He has developed a range of digital tools to assist in microscopic identification of pathological tissues. Callum’s academic work emphasizes the correlation between microscopic structures and clinical disease patterns. His practical guides and slide sets are widely used in pathology teaching. He also conducts online workshops to improve microscopy skills among students and laboratory staff.
