The Digital Histology Atlas consists of microscopic images of bone
microstructure of human and non-human origin. It aims to operate as a
comparison material while evaluating the biological origin of bones via the
histomorphological approach in the forensic anthropology as well as elsewhere.
It might be applied as a lab material in education of Biological Anthropology,
medical sciences and other relative scientific fields. Moreover, it is addressed
to students as an interactive studying source. The entire project has been
realized in the Department of Anthropology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk
University in Brno and was financially supported by the Development Fund for Higher
Education n. 143/2005.
Please feel free to contact the author with any suggestion, so the Atlas may
be interactively further developed and improved.
