Netter's Essential Histology is a textbook/atlas of human histology authored by William K. Ovalle[1] [2] and Patrick C. Nahirney.[3] [4] Drawings by medical illustrator, Frank H. Netter, with contributing artwork by James A. Perkins, Joe Chovan, John A. Craig, and Carlos A.G. Machado, are in the book.[5] First published in English in 2008[6] by Elsevier/ Saunders, a 2nd edition was released in 2013.[7] Subsequent editions in Portuguese,[8] [9] Korean,[10] Greek,[11] Turkish,[12] and Italian[13] have also been printed. The first Southeast Asia edition[14] was released in English in 2015.

Directed to today’s problem-based, integrated curricula in medicine and dentistry, it is also intended for allied health care professionals, clinical residents, teachers, and researchers. A pictorial guide that highlights relevant microscopic and functional features of cells, tissues and organs of the body,[15] the book has been recognized as "concisely written text with emphasis on concepts and not on details, supported by illustrations as well as light and electron micrographs".[16]

Book contents can be accessed online; its resources include an image and virtual slide[17] library with 20 high-resolution digitized light microscopic slides, 225 ‘zoomifiable’ electron micrographs, and short narrated video overviews of each of 20 chapters.[18]

A separate, updated set of Netter’s Histology Flashcards (by the same authors) is in its 2nd edition.[19] These more than 200 visual aids help in recognition and interpretation of microscopic sections at a glance, and also reinforce clinical relevance.

Reception

In 2008, the book won British Medical Association’s Best Illustrated Book Award.[20] It has also been praised as "an excellent textbook with exquisite illustrations and micrographs that provide a broad coverage of histology with clinical correlations".[21] "The book is successful in bridging the gap between gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy" (Published review by Dr.George Niiro: Doody Review: 5 stars)[22] ".
