This full-color atlas is intended as a visual reference to supplement laboratory manuals or instructor-authored exercises for introductory microbiology laboratory courses. The atlas can be used alone but also has been designed to be used in conjunction with Exercises for the Microbiology Laboratory, 5e, by Leboffe & Pierce, with images keyed to specific exercises.

A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory, 5e is part of our CustomLab program. For more information on customizing this book contact our CustomLab Editor.

Features
  • More than 700 full-color, high-quality, color-accurate photographs serve as a visual reference for students in the laboratory and aid in interpreting results in the lab.
  • The purpose and principle are set forth for each technique and test in the book so students will understand the “why” as well as the “how” in learning to be proficient microbiologists.
  • A section on microscopy provides practical information about how to operate a microscope.
  • Informative color diagrams, clearly written captions, and additional text provide helpful information to make the atlas easy to use and understand.
What's New in this Edition
  • A significant number of the 700 photographs and light micrographs have been replaced or edited to improve contrast and color.
  • New transmission and scanning electron micrographs have been included to enhance the sections on bacterial structure.
  • Revised organismal sections that take a phylogenetic approach. Relevant taxa are included in the photo captions to assist the reader in maintaining their bearings as they study taxonomy.
  • The printing of bacterial micrographs with the cells on the page approximating their size as seen through a 1000X oil immersion lens.
