The detail-revealing photographs vividly depict the gross and microscopic features that distinguish each condition. Professional drawings and intraoperative photographs demonstrate key surgical principles and procedures.The three atlases prepared by Drs. Shields and Shields--Atlas of Eyelid and Conjunctival Tumors, Atlas of Intraocular Tumors, and Atlas of Orbital Tumors--can be purchased together as a money-saving package.
