significant level. The lecture note is intended for use by
laboratory technologist both during their training and in
their work places. There are twenty two chapters each
beginning with specific learning objectives in which
succeeding by a background of the topic in discussion.
There are study questions at the end of each chapter for
the reader to evaluate his understanding of the contents.
In addition, important terms are defined in the glossary
