0.0

Filled with illustrations generated by advanced techniques such as transmission and high resolution scanning electron microscopy, An Atlas of Menopausal Aging reveals the dramatic dynamic changes of the aging female reproductive tract. It provides over 200 never-before-published images taken directly from the authors' personal libraries along with expert commentary that documents and describes the significance of the changes shown. The atlas will be useful to morphophysiologists, pathologists, and clinicians at different levels, from medical and postgraduate students to physicians interested in basic and clinical reproduction as well as teachers.
