  Bacus Laboratories, Inc. Virtual Microscopy
Virtual Microscopy is the technique of digitizing a glass microscope slide with any commonly used objective magnification producing a digital virtual microscope slide with diagnostic image quality.
A virtual microscope slide should have quality and resolution that is similar to looking at the original glass slide on a microscope.
A virtual slide can be shared with your colleagues or students at anytime, all they need is to download the free software from the Internet and install it on their computer.

 Virtual Microscope aids study for UI medical students
The Virtual Microscope Laboratory is a UI project that makes use of a newly emerging technology to capture the information contained on glass slides, digitize that information and deliver it over the Web.
Also, the students found the Virtual Microscope to be a more efficient use of their time.
In particular, he suggests that the Virtual Microscope could be used by pathologists and cytopathology screeners (people who read Pap smear tests) for continuing medical education (CME) and to standardize proficiency testing.

 The Virtual Microscope
Currently the Virtual Microscope is a pre-release version incorporating some of the planned functionality; as yet it has none of the teaching dialogue that might accompany a full package.
All the time the microscopic image is being viewed there remains an icon visible that identifies the sample number of the chosen sample and also an icon of the slide tray with the remaining sections.
To my mind the Virtual Microscope is excellent for such purposes; indeed, the advantages of this Virtual Microscope are such that I think that its use would be preferable at the introductory stage.

 WebSlide - A Virtual Microscope Slide
Microscope slides can now be digitized in a way that makes common sense to view, with no compromise made for specimen sampling as the entire specimen can be scanned at high resolution with diagnostic quality.
Consideration for the virtual microscope slide data which can be daunting must be made to work within today's storage and bandwidth requirements on common desktop personal computers.
The typical procedure for scanning a microscope slide with the B L I S S Workstation is that the slide is initially scanned with a 1.25x microscope objective and a thumbnail image of the entire slide is built as shown below.
