Put your microscope to use! Master the fundamentals of cytology, and learn how to diagnose a wide variety of pathologies. A practical and interactive lab! This course will teach participants how to use a microscope to interpret cytological specimens from a wide range of tissues. Cytology is an important step in a large number of clinical cases. The correct use of the in clinic microscope can help the clinician to quickly assess a clinical case, mainly in animals with a mass or cavity effusions and to differentiate inflammation from neoplasia, as well as the specific types of neoplasia.
