Haematology education resources

Haematology Images

An atlas of blood and bone marrow morphology is usually to be found on the shelves of departmental libraries. Nowadays this may be a book, a CD, or both, and there are also web sites which serve for purposes of reference. This site is not meant to compete with any of these, but presents images and data for the purpose of private study. I hope you will find that the material presented is interesting, whether you are a medical student, a laboratory scientific officer, a clinical haematologist in training or a member of any other group interested in haematology.

I suggest you keep a pencil and paper to hand, and write down your opinions before you look at the answers. Make your own decisions, then review them in the light of the commentaries. You will gain more from this approach than by casually browsing through what is presented.

Haematology Screen Saver

If you wish you may download the free animated haematology.org screen saver. This is based upon the appearance of erythropoietic porphyria red cells when viewed under near UV light. It shows the characteristic fluorescence of porphyric red cells. Further site developments will be announced on the message board.
