Histology is an image-intensive discipline. Therefore, to use this site effectively you should be hooked up to a fast internet connection - at least 140,000 baud. Using a normal dialup connection will lead to enormous frustration. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about the need for images, so using a fast connection is the only way to resolve the issue.
Histology is the study of the organization of tissues and organs using the microscope.
The primary tool used in the early days of the discipline was the light microscope. The scrolling images illustrate the types of information one can obtain using light and electron microscopy. The goal of this course is to define the cellular and extracellular arrangements that make up tissues and organs and that form the foundations of body structure and function. The information obtained in this course will be of great importance to you in understanding the pathological processes that you will study in later years. Histology is an exciting and dynamic field.
