There are a number of websites that provide image banks related to histology that can be useful sources of images that are different from the Kodachrome and glass slides shown in class and those contained in MedPics. URLs for two of the most comprehensive sites are listed below. Also has files containing past histology exams given to UC Davis medical students. An atlas is needed to supplement the course syllabus. The illustrations consist of drawings, not photomicrographs.
Some students find it easier to understand structures presented as drawings rather than micrographs.
This book has light and electron micrographs as well as diagrams. All of them are of excellent quality. University regulations are that a lecture hour comprises a maximum of 50 minutes. Student evaluation of faculty and course material will be carried out at the end of the course. A questionnaire will be provided at that time.
