What students are saying about Meyer's Histology

"Meyer's Histology is definitely one of the top resources available to students in the health sciences."

Max (UCLA Student)

"I was warned by friends that Histology is a tough subject, but Meyer's Histology was organized around a system that made it easy to learn and remember key information. Listening to the audio videos, you can hear how passionate Professor Meyer is about the subject and wants students to succeed. Little by little, squiggly lines and fuzzy dots became structures I could name and identify. The image atlas uses high quality, well labeled photos and gives concise descriptions. Finally, the quizzes help drill key concepts and pinpoint weak spots that need review.

I know 2020 has been difficult for a lot of students this year, but I truly believe that if they had resources like the ones you've put together it would be a much more seamless transition from in person to online classes.

Kimberly (UCLA Student)

All the resources you provided, recorded audio and videos of all basic tissues and human organs as well as the Meyer's Histology Interative Online Atlas website with practice quizzes integrated at the end of each topic, were amazing tools to help me understand the material to be successful in my histology class. The Meyer's Histology resources really helped clarify what the key points for each topic were and it was much easier to retain the information when I could click a highlighted word in the passage and it would show me exactly where it was located on the slide.

Confused about histology? Well here's your solution.
