Image for virtual microscopy

virtual microscopy

Virtual microscopy is a technology that allows users to view and analyze high-resolution digital images of microscope slides on a computer. Instead of using traditional microscopes to look at samples, researchers and medical professionals can explore detailed images from anywhere, making it easier to share findings and collaborate. This method enables faster and more efficient examination of biological tissues, like in pathology, where it helps diagnose diseases. Virtual microscopy combines the benefits of digital imaging with the traditional study of microscopic samples, enhancing education, research, and clinical practices.
