This full-color atlas is intended to act as a supplement to introductory microbiology laboratory manuals. It is not designed to replace them, nor is it intended to replace actual performance of the techniques. Rather, the photographs are supplied to help with the interpretation of results.
The third edition of the Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory is one of the best selling microbiology books in the higher education market. The authors have built on the success of this book by making significant improvements for the new edition. Some of the changes for the fourth edition include:
A new art program designed to increase student understanding of important concepts
A new "Introduction" chapter provides context and background information for the new microbiology student
Re-organized content to reflect the "process" a working microbiologist would follow to identify an unknown organism
Three new chapters covering the three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
New photographs, re-scanned and or re-imaged photos and new photomicrographs that match more closely what students are likely to observe in the laboratory
A complete redesign that should allow the student to better access the material
This atlas can accompany and augment any Microbiology textbook. It is designed to be of particular value to students in a laboratory situation and could either accompany a laboratory manual or, in certain courses, it could be used in conjunction with Exercises for the Microbiology Laboratory, Fourth Edition. to provide students with a full-color, affordably priced lab manual.

Amazing Supplemental Tool for Studying!!!
Reviewed in the United States on 2 April 2011Verified Purchase
"A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory" is an amazing tool to supplement studying Microbiology!!! I have been able to use this book to prepare me for upcoming lab testing in conjunction with the materials provided by my professor... I love the side by side comparisons of uninoculated tubes with the test tubes, and the graphs that accompany tests giving color indicator results!!! The full-color presentation is superb and easier to read than the printed tutorials I use in class. This is a MUST BUY for any student taking a Micro course!!! As long as you use it and you don't let it collect dust at the end of your desk, it is a GREAT BUY!!! I highly recommend this to anyone!!!!

must-have item for College level Intro to Microbiology classes!
Reviewed in the United States on 28 November 2010Verified Purchase
I wish I had known about this lab atlas at the beginning of the semester, rather than the end! The photos of diagnostic test results are absolutely helpful when studying for lab exams, as it can be difficult to accurately recall what a positive result looks like vs. a negative result when running certian diagnostics (i.e.identifying bacterial unknowns). In addition to the nice color photos, this atlas provides the beginner with an excellent description of each test, by clearly defining the "purpose" of each test along with helpful tips to consider when working in the lab.

Don't spend money on newer edition, but this one instead!!
Reviewed in the United States on 12 May 2014Verified Purchase
I needed this atlas for my college microbiology class, but new edition was required. I decided to save some money and bought this one instead. All the tests and organisms were here, same as in the newer edition, only the pages are a little off (but very easy to find by the index). I paid 6$ for this old edition instead of 39$ for the new one.

It’s a required text...
Reviewed in the United States on 10 February 2018Verified Purchase
I don’t foresee using this again after microbiology so I bought this edition instead of the newer one. I suppose it’ll serve its purpose. It arrived quickly and factory-sealed as promised.

This Was VERY Helpful
Reviewed in the United States on 24 September 2011Verified Purchase
I found this book very helpful during the laboratory component of my microbiology class. Since I did not take them at the same time, it was helpful in reviewing information about certain organisms without having to dig through all my notes from the lecture portion. The pictures are also helpful in studying for exams where you actually need to look into a microscope and identify. I bought this unbound and stuck it in my lab binder.
