The Laboratory Mouse

This essential guide, The Laboratory Mouse, provides practical knowledge for histologists, enhancing their ability to achieve optimal results in mouse necropsy and histology.

This comprehensive guide serves as an invaluable resource for any academic, research, or development operation involving mouse necropsy and histology. The Laboratory Mouse consolidates a wealth of scattered information into a single, high-quality text, emphasizing practical knowledge that will assist histologists in achieving better results. It connects the reader from the mouse to the microscope, offering detailed instructions on locating, trimming, orienting, and embedding the most frequently investigated tissues collected from the laboratory mouse.

Key features of The Laboratory Mouse include high-quality full-color photographs and descriptive texts that guide users through the location and removal of organs from the mouse. Additionally, the book provides instructive methods and clear visuals for trimming and orienting these organs for paraffin histology, ensuring optimal sections for analysis. Full-color photomicrographs illustrate the resulting sections for each organ, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, highlighting important features and landmarks to help histologists achieve the best possible outcomes.

Organized by individual organs of the laboratory mouse, this spiral-bound guide ensures easy reference in the lab. By bringing together essential information in an accessible format, The Laboratory Mouse is designed to help histologists and scientists obtain ideal sections for their downstream assays, ultimately leading to improved research outcomes.
