[Histonet] what book to study for registry?

"Trained by an elderly minimally competent tech, he's rapidly blossomed
- is making superb slides and is really interested in histotechnology.
He's appalled by the minimal knowledge of science of his co-workers."

Gee I wonder how he is able to make superb slides being trained by an
elderly minimally competent tech??

Robert,
	Apart from what is recommended for the registry exam I would
strongly recommend he reads the latest edition of John Kiernan's text,
Histological and Histochemical Methods. Being available in paperback
form it
will not make a large dent in his wallet. This text is packed with
information on technique and the background to it, plus, it's well
written
and easily read.
Ian.

I'm working with a thirtysomething man with a degree in chemistry and
a good bit of experience under his belt, who in these bad times wound
up signing on as a histech with no experience. Trained by an elderly
minimally competent tech, he's rapidly blossomed - is making superb
slides and is really interested in histotechnology. He's appalled by
the minimal knowledge of science of his co-workers.

With the base ulterior motive of trying to keep him from taking off
when times get better, I've been strongly encouraging him to take the
registry exam when he becomes eligible in a few more months. I'll try
to work with him as much as I can.

My question to you all is - what book should he be studying? Is the
exam still based on Freida Carson's book (2nd ed) which we have, or is
there a more recent book we should get?
