Direct Smear Atlas

A Monograph of Gram-Stained Smear Preparations of Clinical Specimens (Spiralbound)

This atlas is a full-color, spiralbound manual of Gram-stained direct smears for medical technologist and medical laboratory technician students and practitioners, microbiologists, pathologists, infectious disease specialists, and anyone who interprets Gram-stained specimens.

Featuring over 250 clear photomicrographs taken from actual patient specimens, the manual presents a simple, easy-to-use format; brief legends accompany each image.

Three introductory chapters cover Gram-stain procedures, quality control, evaluation, and more. An invaluable reference and educational tool, this manual is effective both as a stand-alone text and as an accompaniment to Marler, Siders and Allen's Direct Smear Atlas CD-ROM.
