First-year medical students
USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), June, 2004
First-year medical students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are finding less need to adjust a traditional microscope in their histology curriculum. Instead they are using their computers and a unique DVD to study the exacting science concerned with the minute structure of cell tissues and organs.
This virtual microscope allows students to receive high-resolution images of individual tissue slides instantaneously the click of a mouse button. Images can be adjusted continuously to fill all or part of a screen, and different magnifications may be viewed simultaneously, something not possible with traditional light microscopes.
