introduction

This is a collection of morphology photos I, and other contributors, have taken ourselves - hence the slightly scattered subject matter. Particular thanks to @Promyelocyte13 generously contributed her photos to this collection.

I am happy for my images (@TomboxaneA2) to be used by others for (non-profit) educational purposes but I would be grateful if you could credit me and point the audience towards this site!

My experience of the morphology papers was that examiners used good quality examples of the condition being tested.

The only way to prepare is plenty of practice and if possible doing so using the same microscope you will use for the exam. Practice timing yourself, including writing down the answers as this is a real pressure in both the short and long cases papers.
