Mammalian Histology-B408
Department of Biological Sciences
University of Delaware

Mammalian Histology (B408) is taught in the fall semester annually and is one of the courses required for the Medical Scholars Program with the Jefferson Medical College. Consequently, it is taught at a comprehensive level and concentrates heavily on human tissues and organ systems. A strong component of this course is tissue structure at the ultrastructural level and how it relates to structure-functional relationships at the light microscopic level. A sizeable collection of color light microscopic images as well as black and white electron microscopic images have been archived and can be accessed by links with this home page. These images files have been produced by:

Dr. Roger C. Wagner Professor of Biological Sciences University of Delaware 28499@udel.edu
Dr. Fred E. Hossler Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology East Tennessee State University College of Medicine

This page was constructed by Anuj Parikh, MSP class of 1998.

In addition, labeled illustrations used in lecture have been digitized and may be used for study purposes. Three dimensional models are often useful for understanding the volume structure represented by two dimensional images and several of these are also linked to this page.

WAGNER-HOSSLER MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY IMAGES

Color Histology Images

Color (8-bit) gif files of light microscopic images are archived according to tissue type and organ systems. The majority of these are stained with hematoxylin and eosin but in several cases more specialized stains are employed. Index pages and files can be accessed by clicking on red button above.

Compressed Histology Images

This is an archive of compressed histology images that can be examined as though the viewer were using a microscope.  These high resolution images have been compressed without loss of image resolution, resulting in faster downloading times and excellent quality.

Cell and Tissue Ultrastructure

Transmission and scanning electron micrographs are archived as 8 bit grey-scale images and are listed according to tissue type and organ system. These are meant to compliment the light microscopic images and reveal structural detail not observable by light microscopy.
 

Labeled Illustrations

Digitized images of overheads of labed illustrations used in lectures are listed according to lecture schedule and can be broused for study purposes.
 

Three Dimensional Models

Three dimensional models of tissue and cell structures have been constructed and rendered to provide realistic interpretations of volume structures not evident in two dimensional tissue sections.
