User:Earlrolandbrown/Idealized Histology Illustration

Idealized Histology Illustration The term “Idealized Histology Illustration” first emerged with the work of Dr. E. Roland Brown. A freelance artist originally from Arizona. Dr. Brown began replacing the artwork done by Dr. Mariano di Fiore (1900-1991) in the eighth edition of di Fiore’s Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations edited by Victor Eroschenko. As more work was done on subsequent editions with Dr. Brown’s signature style of adding artistic style and realism to the histology illustrations, the term “idealized’ became attached to his work. The purpose of histology illustration is to include in one composite image several items that are often difficult to find in any single photograph. The illustrations also are designed to help the student identify elements seen at the microscopic level that are, if fact, often more difficult to identify in photographs of slides. Idealized illustration simply brings the image closer to what is seen under the microscope without losing the benefits of traditional illustration.
