Clinical Atlas of Small Animal Cytology provides an essential guide for interpreting cytologic samples to diagnose small animal patients.
* Features photographs of diseases with a diagnosis confirmed by pathognomonic cytologic features, histopathology, special stains, microbial culture, or other confirmatory tests
* Emphasizes characteristic features of each disease and distinguishing features
* Provides multiple images to differentiate cells from lesions that could look similar
* Presents more than 500 representative high-quality images
