Sep 19, 2006 (The Australian - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Students at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) are benefiting from the use of high-resolution, on-screen slides. In virtual microscopy, the microscope is replaced with a web browser, with tissue images seen on screen at a high magnification. Students can use a cursor to zoom in and out on the images. Originally invented by Fred Dee of the University of Iowa, the UNSW has expanded upon virtual microscopy by using it in classes and exams. According to a new report in "The Anatomical Record" journal, students rank virtual microscopy highly in terms of ease of use, quality of imagery and effectiveness.
