Digital histology in MUG

1.03.2019

The first in Poland system enabling interactive teaching of histology and cytology during practical classes is available in MUG’a Department of Histology. Microscopes use a digital camera and tablet. The student has the ability to save images of histological preparations as a graphic file, marking the characteristic structures in the picture.

The files can be archived and sent to the student’s e-mail address. What is important, the system is an interactive consulting and didactic platform. Images from microscopic cameras are sent in real time to the assistant tablet.

Using the appropriate software academic teachers, it is possible to display the image from a given student microscope on a large screen, its graphic processing and discussion for all students. The main advantage of the digital histology system is that students can create their own histological atlas, very helpful during exams.
