The Clinical Atlas of Small Animal Cytology and Hematology, 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive image-based reference for diagnostic microscopic evaluation in veterinary clinical pathology. Published by Wiley-Blackwell, this reference work organizes cellular findings to assist clinicians when examining patient samples and making accurate diagnostic assessments.

Coverage spans the technical workflow of diagnostic laboratory procedures, beginning with cytology sampling, specimen preparation, staining methods, sample handling, and long-term slide storage. Organ-focused sections systematically detail microscopic features across body systems, incorporating specific coverage of the hemolymphatic system through detailed analysis of lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow. Additional diagnostic chapters evaluate body cavity fluids, infectious agents, integument, and musculoskeletal structures.

Microscopic interpretation is supported throughout the reference volume by over 750 high-quality images of cytology and hematology specimens depicting cellular morphology. This image-driven structure delivers focused reference support for veterinary professionals examining clinical specimens in practice or laboratory settings.
