* Collects, classifies, describes and illustrates the ultrastructure of every normal and pathological intracellular structure in humans and other animals.

* Serves as both a textbook and atlas of cellular pathology at the ultrastructural level.

* This fourth edition includes a number of new ultrastructural changes and lesions such as secretory granules in bronchio-alveolar carcinoma, fibrohistiocytes, crinophagy in normal and neoplastic cells, and interdigitations and infoldings of the cell membrane.

Ghadially successfully collects, classifies, describes, and illustrates the ultrastructure of every normal and pathological intracellular and extracellular structure in humans and other animals.

This authoritative work serves as a textbook and atlas of cellular pathology at the ultrastructural level. There is no other book from which one may learn in a systemic fashion about the numerous changes that occur in cellular organelles and inclusions as a result of disease or experimental procedures. The Fourth Edition includes a number of new ultrastructural changes and lesions such as, secretory granules in bronchio-alveolar carcinoma, fibrohistiocytes, crinophagy in normal and neoplastic cells, and interdigitations and infoldings of the cell membrane.
