The third edition of A Photographic Atlas for the Biology Laboratory is designed to provide you with
quality photographs of organisms, similar to those you may have the opportunity to observe in a biology laboratory.
It is designed to accompany any biology text or laboratory manual you may be using in the classroom. In certain
courses, this photographic atlas could serve as the laboratory manual.
An objective of this atlas is to provide you with a balanced visual representation of the five kingdoms of biological
organisms. Great care has been taken to construct completely labeled, informative figures that are depicted clearly
and accurately. Because this edition of A Photographic Atlas for the Biology Laboratory is presented in
full-color, the specimens depicted in this atlas appear as you see them in the biology laboratory. The terminology
used in this atlas is that which is found in the more commonly used college biology texts.
Chapter 8 of this atlas is devoted to the biology of the human organism, providing a complete set of photographs
for each of the human body systems. Human cadavers have been carefully dissected and photographed to clearly depict
each of the principal organs from each of the body systems. Selected radiographs (X-rays), CT scans, and MR images
depict structures from living people and thus provide an applied dimension within this portion of the atlas.
