Researchers at the IIS, the Erlangen University Clinic as well as at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg have now created an additional facility that is available to students around the clock: a platform for web-based microscopy. So far, the project partners have made digital images of 200 specimens at 40x magnification and have put them into a database. Here, students can look up and research specimens using specific keywords such as body part or diagnostic findings. At the click of a mouse, the image can be viewed with a specific degree of enlargement (5x, 10x, 20x, 40x) or with seamless zooming. Image details which present the relevant tissue changes or other characteristics are interactively labeled. The crux of this development work is that in order to make even the slightest details easily discernible, the images have to be made available at a very high resolution.
