A colour atlas of sectional Anatomy of the Mouse
The mouse is the most widely used laboratory mammal in biomedical research such as evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of new pharmaceutical products, research in tumor suppression, and vaccine and monoclinal antibody proportional studies.
Anatomy is one of the important basic sciences and although much progress has been recently made in the field of human imaging diagnosis, information on sectional anatomy of experimental animals is lacking at present.
The specimens were not fixed but kept in a frozen state so that photographic information close to the living state could be obtained. All photographs are in color for detailed observation. Each atlas has numerous color pages, 2 pages of black and white macro-anatomical photographs are provided making the sectional atlas more comprehensible. All pages consist of photographs so as to make the detail more comprehensive and three-dimensional than the usual pictorial atlas. The anatomical terms used are in Japanese and English.
