ABSTRACT
As medical practitioners we realize the importance of adequate training, and in a field such as histopathology adequate training is an ongoing process. The digital slide has application at all levels of clinical practice (Table 13.1) and is of benefit in undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education. Unfortunately, as the volume of potential data on a histologic slide represents a significant problem in terms of digitization, storage, and subsequent manipulation, the true potential of virtual microscopy to date has yet to be realized.
