Except for viruses, all living beings are cellular-their body being made up of one, two or millions of cells. At the microscopic level the cell has a self contained integrated machinery to sustain itself either singly (Unicellular Organisms) or in groups (Multicellular Organisms). Cytology is a branch of biology that deals with basically the structural aspects of cell components. The understanding of cell and its sub-cellular machinery is basic to the understanding of life itself. Hence all students of biology take a course in cytology to familiarize themselves with the basic unit of life-Cell. The present book entitled Cytology has 12 chapters with all essential structural and functional aspects of cell. The most indispensable tool for the study of cell viz. the microscope is explained in great detail in the third chapter. The book follows a direct class room type narration and is thought to be helpful to students.
