  9. EXAMPLE OF BLACKBOARD DATA

  10. Virtual Laboratories WebMic Virtual Slide

  11. WebMic • An interactive web accessible virtual microscope • Composed of nested static photomicrographs delivered by java applets • 157 specimens comprehensively annotated to highlight important microscopic structures • Two self-assessment opportunities for students to assess their knowledge of microscopic structure. http://cocascwebmic.cas.sc.edu/webmic/WebMic/allgspez/WebMicGenOrg.html

  12. Virtual Slides Virtual Slides created with Digital slide scanning technology has made it possible to convert a biological specimen on a glass slide completely into a digital format…….. So that microscopic architecture can be explored using.. …a computer…. …the Internet….. …. specialized software! You examine the specimen over the Internet just like you would using a microscope!

  13. Self-contained systems where the objective lens and the mechanism to move the slide or camera are enclosed. Microscope equipped with a motorized stage, digital camera and computer software to control scanning and image collection. Virtual Slide Creation MBFbioscience.com Aperio.com

  14. Digital Data in a Histological Slide MBFbioscience.com

  15. Advantages of Virtual Slides Multiple levels of resolution are available from a virtual slide Overview 0.08x Single section 0.63x Entire 2”x3” inch slide scanned with a 20x objective (~300x absolute mag). It is not possible to see this large a field-of-view with a standard microscope. Anatomic detail 5x Even a single section overview is impossible with a microscope Cellular detail 20x
