This edited book focuses on significant advances in microscopy that span research, medical education, and clinical practice, particularly highlighting the transition from conventional to digital microscopy.
The first section of this book delves into imaging techniques and morphometric image analysis, emphasizing their applications in biomedicine across various microscopy modes. Chapters showcase the evolution of fluorescence methods and technologies, particle tracking techniques with applications in biomedical research and nanomedicine, and the transformative role of visualizations in fields ranging from gross anatomy to genetics. Additionally, the psychology of perception and its impact on our understanding of cells and tissues is explored. The first section culminates in a discussion of how CT modalities are employed to assess anterior deformities in craniosynostosis.
In the second section of the book, chapters focused on anatomical and cell biology education provide insights into the history of anatomical models and their use in educational settings. This section includes examples of 3D printing and the creation of functional human anatomical models using readily available resources, as well as the use of biomedical imaging in teaching anatomy through visuospatial means. The book also addresses the innovative use of ultrasound in medical education and practice, along with skill development in histology education facilitated by a decision tree.
This book is a valuable resource for histologists, microscopists, cell biologists, clinicians, educators involved in anatomical education, and professionals engaged in biomedical visualization. It also serves as a useful reference for students in these respective fields.
