NOTE: If you choose to use books other than these, you do so at your own risk. In the event of any discrepancies between books, the information presented in these two books will be considered correct.

EM Atlas: An Atlas of Histology by Rhodin. 1975. Oxford University Press. This book is used in all of our lab sessions, but it is now out of print and unavailable from the publisher. Each lab group has one copy of the book in their group locker. We recommend studying and discussing the micrographs together as part of your lab exercise. Additional copies are on reserve in the library. A link to an online version of the text can be found at http://projects.galter.northwestern.edu/rhodin/
