Those seeking to assess microscopic skills in learners or practitioners have long sought
practical electronic tools for this purpose. The challenge is to provide the user with a realistic …

The most common digital visual media used to teach microscopic skills are still images of
significant findings. More recently, whole-slide imaging applications are available, which …

Virtual microscopy (VM) has been widely available for more than a decade, especially in
clinical settings and medical schools. In recent years the movement away from conventional …

Problem: Laboratory science students need the opportunity to complete real life labs outside
of the classroom. The main goal is to improve competency levels among students in the …

Virtual or digital microscopy has initiated changes that reflect how education and training are
being implemented within the diagnostic medical field and science courses, widening an …

The recent technological advance of digital high resolution imaging has allowed the field of
pathology and medical laboratory science to undergo a dramatic transformation with the …

Digitized histology is rapidly replacing traditional microscopic viewing of tissue specimens in
medical schools. Labeled static images can replace an atlas but do not provide students …

We describe the development of a Virtual Slide System for creating and viewing clinico-
pathologic cases with embedded interactive digital microscopy. The system supports rich …

Pathologists are specialized MDs who identify diseases (eg, cancer, infectious diseases,
genetic disorders) by studying tissues and cells under a microscope. Pathology samples …

In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of virtual microscopy as the primary mode of
laboratory instruction in undergraduate level clinical hematology teaching. Distance …
