In the vast landscape of medical literature, we now have a groundbreaking book that unveils the intricate details of our body's inner workings. In Vivo Microscopy takes readers on a captivating journey through the microscopic realms of organs and systems, offering unprecedented insights into the new technologies that allow the visualization of tissues at a cellular level.
Authored by leading experts in the field, this comprehensive guide delves into the cellular mechanisms of various organs, shedding light on the microscopic events underpinning the full spectrum of disease processes, especially inflammatory conditions and cancer. In vivo microscopy allows the visualization of living tissues in real-time. This allows us to explore the dynamic interaction of cells and their microenvironment, providing a profound understanding of the manifestations of each of these conditions.
In Vivo Microscopy not only educates but also inspires. Its rich visuals, coupled with compelling narratives, make it an enthralling read for anyone with an interest in the microanatomy of the human body and the novel technologies the book details. It also serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the pathologic basis of disease, as well as for researchers aiming to uncover novel therapeutic targets.
As we continue to unravel the complexities of our body, this book serves as a guiding light, encouraging us to investigate the microscopic universe within and paving the way for advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

Andrew is from the western part of New York State, where he earned his undergraduate and medical degrees. He trained in anatomic and clinical pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, where he also completed fellowships in pathology informatics and cytopathology. During his informatics training, Andrew was introduced to Dr Gary Tearney, who opened Andrew's eyes to the potential of in vivo microscopy (IVM) in clinical and research pursuits. Dr Tearney and Andrew collaborated over the years that followed to raise awareness about IVM within the pathology community and offered the first educational course on the diagnosis of IVM images. Andrew has practiced clinical informatics and cytopathology since finishing his training. He served as the Director of Pathology Informatics at Parkland Health and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas from 2015–2024.
