Difference in Histology textbooks?

[PreMedSS]

Hey, SDN.

I just had a question that maybe you guys could help me out with. See, I'm taking histology in the spring and the professor had already emailed the syllabus to the current class roster. The syllabus says that we should use "histology, a text and atlas 6th edition" published in 2010, but it's a bit expensive for me at the moment. I was wondering if I could use the 5th edition of this textbook that was published in 2006. My research professor says that there aren't big differences in histology textbooks aside from pictures. I've already emailed the professor and I wanted to get some feedback here. Help?😕

I took histo in undergrad and in med school obviously and go with whatever book is cheapest. You dont even need a txtbook unless the professor is going to be taking images for exams from it. There is a website..histology world I believe its called..that has way more than youll ever need for undergrad histo.
