Anderson's Atlas of Hematology

This essential primer is a print companion to Anderson’s Electronic Atlas of Hematology and Anderson’s Electronic Atlas of Hematologic Disorders. With four-colour illustrations, this manual describes and identifies the maturation sequence of developing blood cells, as well as categorising cell abnormalities.

Coverage includes both normal and abnormal cells, and the format allows for benchtop reference with side-by-side comparisons—text on the left and images on the right. Written by a well-known educator in the field, this text follows the CLS Body of Knowledge curriculum for MTs and MLTs.
