"Histology: An Interactive Virtual Microscope" recreates the look and feel of a microscope in an intuitive, browser based interface. Histology is one of the core courses in the curriculum for medicine and allied health professions. It requires both an understanding of the cellular structure of organs and tissues and the ability to recognize tissues at the microscopic level. Traditionally, students have used microscopes to study specimens on glass slides. While extensive practice with the microscope is not essential in the modern health care setting, histology remains an image intensive discipline. To understand the organization and function of tissues requires that students be able to interpret microscopic images. By presenting nested images at increasing magnification, "Histology: An Interactive Virtual Microscope" provides a sense of scale and proportion that cannot be achieved in a standard histology text or atlas. Moreover, the text descriptions and labelled images offer flexibility (students can study at any computer) and opportunities for small group learning (several students can examine the images together), yet provide guidance for independent study.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for an instructor,
By amateur historian (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Histology: An Interactive Virtual Microscope (Audio CD)
This pair of CD-ROMs is a bit pricey for a student, who will probably have something similar included with his textbook. However, the optional labels would be very helpful for self-testing or group study. These CD-ROMs are worth every penny to an instructor because the images can be downloaded and used to make Power Points that one can customize for one's own course. Image quality is generally excellent. Most of the images can stand up to 4x magnification of parts of the image when one wants to discuss small details.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great images and easy to access,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Histology: An Interactive Virtual Microscope (Audio CD)
The images on this CD is great for easy access to microscope slides without actually using a microscope. I especially like the ability to zoom in on important structures and the main information points on the side of the screen. I would recommend this CD for anyone who needs access to microscope slides for review of cellular structures and functions.
