Features:
Visual Reference: More than 700 full-color, high-quality, color-accurate photographs serve as a visual reference. This aids students in the laboratory and helps interpret results effectively.
Companion to Lab Manuals: The atlas is designed to complement laboratory manuals or exercises. It can be used independently or in conjunction with specific exercises, particularly with “Exercises for the Microbiology Laboratory, 5e” by Leboffe & Pierce. Images are keyed to specific exercises in the manual.
Purpose and Principle: Each technique and test in the book is accompanied by a clear presentation of its purpose and principle. This approach helps students understand not only the “how” but also the “why” in becoming proficient microbiologists.
Microscopy Section: A dedicated section on microscopy provides practical information on operating a microscope. This is crucial for students learning about this essential tool in microbiology.
Information Delivery: Informative color diagrams, well-written captions, and additional text provide clear and helpful information. The design of the atlas aims to facilitate ease of use and understanding for students.
This microbiology laboratory atlas serves as a comprehensive visual resource, enhancing the learning experience for students in introductory microbiology laboratory courses. It combines practical guidance with a wealth of color images, making it a valuable tool for students and instructors alike.
