The Drug Atlas provides a microscopic color plate, a macroscopic photo, and a botanically accurate description for each medicinal plant. The book includes monographs of the drugs from the European Pharmacopoeia, the German Pharmacopoeia, and the German Medicines Codex. The informative microscopic photos of the color plates characterize the most important drug features in cellular context. Overview illustrations in the color plates are particularly helpful as they demonstrate the general structure of plant organs using drug examples. The macroscopic photos display characteristic drug components. The text section also contains concise information about the ingredients and their applications. A glossary explains all important technical terms. Additionally, readers will find comprehensive information on practical microscopic work in the book.
