Virtual Microscopy
Histology and Histopathology

VM Library

The micro library platform focused on the collection of slides of human organs and basic diseases, including slide annotations, serving as a valuable resource for medical education and research.

By offering such a platform, medical students, researchers, and healthcare professionals can enhance their understanding of histology and histopathology, improving their diagnostic skills and knowledge of human organ systems and diseases.

Additionally, the platform facilitates remote access and collaboration, enabling users to study, discuss, and share slide annotations, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

The VM Library offer a large collection of 287 slides of normal and pathological human tissues and basic diseases (including Slide annotations) as an application of VM in histology and histopathology, useful both for teaching staff but also for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Methodology of production of the VM slides

It is imperative that medical students become familiar and proficient in the VM system applications. Thus, the project is addressing the need for students’ skills improvement in morphological sciences. This project establish a dynamic virtual microscopy educational system in response to the need to increase the digital transformation of the educational systems. As a consequence, the implementation of this new technology is contributing to innovation in vocational education and training in Medical schools/universities.

Training sessions

Training session in the use of the VM library organized in each of the project countries, Romania, Poland, Greece, Spain and Bulgaria, with over 113 teaching staff members.

Histology Department of Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy hosted a successful training session in VM3.0 project

Certificate of attendance

The Biotechnology Department of the University of Alicante hosted a training session for its teaching staff on implementing and using the Virtual Microscopy for teaching purposes. We want to thank all the participants for their feedback, and we are pleased with the positive reception of our project.

The Virtual Microscopy project is increasingly active and present among teaching staff - New training sessions took place in Plovdiv, Bulgaria Anatomy, Histology and Embryology - MU Plovdiv, 14 October 2024.

Testimonials

"The VM3.0 project is an innovative tool that transforms histology and histopathology education through virtual microscopy, making it more accessible, flexible, and interactive for students.
Very much appreciated the quality of the images, the speed of focus magnification, the usefulness of obtaining and saving notes."

"The strengths of the VM3.0 results are in the fact that we are able to develop a clearer teaching to the students as well as to be able to have a database with very high quality images to be able to consult anywhere."

"Excellent tool to help students learn histology."

"Its broad application to different biomedical fields."

"It is amazing!!!"

"It is a very interesting platform and useful both for students and teachers."

"Consistency with students. Opportunities to include personal notes."

"International, Intercultural, interdisciplinarity."

"Accessibility and usability are the very strong points of this project."

"VM3.0 is answering to students’ requirements for a curricular modernisation and it strengthens the collaboration between educational institutions across Europe."

"Innovativeness."

"Accessibility, teaching network, virtual library with histological and histopathological slides."

"Accessibility, facile for the users, and already an already consistent volume of data that cover main physiologic areas."
