[Histonet] Animal Histology Texts

[John Kiernan]

Try "Humason's Animal Tissue Techniques" 5th edn by
JK Presnell & MR Schreibman. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins
Univ Press, 1997. The 4th edition (by GL Humason) 
might be a bargain second-hand.

Processing mouse and pig tissues isn't any different
from doing human tissues, and there are many technical
manuals aimed primarily at histopathology labs. The
most comprehensive is probably "Theory and Practice 
of Histological Techniques" 5th ed by Bancroft & Gamble
(editors), (2002).
