Price, $12.00. research workers, and laboratory personnel JIere is an excellent text for technologists, interested in histology and other fields of micoroscopy. It deals principally with the preparation of calcified tissue through decalcification by means of chemical and physical processes. Recommended step-by-step techniques are given for each process, and a number of significant new findings are published for the first time. A variable-voltage x-ray unit for recording histologic material prior to and during the decalcification is described, and the use of photography to demonstrate changes in the dimension of the specimen and other artifacts is discussed.
