This laboratory atlas is very helpful for a beginning Microbiology class. The slide pictures are very clear and all of the explanations of organisms and experiments are very easy to understand. I already recommended this book to some of my classmates.

Trust me, you will love it. Even though most microbiology courses come with a lab book, it is nothing like this book. It has ALL the pictures you need, information, easy to read and most of all, will surely get you through the course with ease. It helps in every aspect. I would not have gotten through my 5 week intense summer course without it. It surely was my lab lifesaver, and I have the grade to thank for it:)

Pictures are of top quality. This makes microbiology a lot easier to understand. This book also helped me with lab. It showed pictures of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as examples quite clearly. I also highly recommend: Tortora's Microbiology Textbook. Tortora explains bacteria, viruses, parasites very well. For test preparation, get Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi. This study guide showed me what to expect on my college microbiology exams. This photo atlas is a definite keeper. Definitely not selling it back.
