Blue Histology - Histology on the
Internet
|
This is not a comprehensive list of histology sites on the
internet. It is just a small selection of sites that I for some reason or
another
find worthwhile visiting. If you know of something nice, let me know, and I'll
have a look.
- UIUC-COM
Histology
- The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Internet Atlas of Histology is technically one of the more advanced
histology sites on the www. Image quality is generally excellent - although,
and this is the only caveat, most of the images are based on plastic embedded,
non-human material which rarely will resemble the images that you see in most
histology or pathology textbooks.
The part of the site which is accessible to the public contains a wealth of
sections. Sections can be found by looking up under "Slides" or by "Object".
"Labs" provide access to slides with accompanying short texts and guides.You
also have access to quizzes if you follow the link "UIUC-COM Histology
Home Page".
It may take a few minutes to get used to the user interface of the site and,
needless to say, large images may mean long download times. But it's worthwhile.
The site requires the installation of a jre plugin.
- University
of Iowas Virtual Slidebox Histology
- This is about as close as you can get to useful virtual
microscopy. A comprehensive set of slides is available. The entire
slide, or at least most of it, can be looked at online at all magnifications,
and it is not that slow ... well, at least not via a LAN connection. There
are no labels, but this is the place to go if you need to brush up on "real"
microscopy, i.e. go through slides and see if you can find / identify all
the bits you have learned.
In addition, you will also find a histopathology slidebox and a slide search
tool on the page.
- JayDoc
HistoWeb
- The histology site of the University of Kansas
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, USA - A comprehensive set of
labelled slides with brief explanations. Images are available in two sizes
- the smaller ones are OK and load reasonably fast, the bigger ones look better
and, of course, load a little slower. Part of the contents of this site were
produced by medical students for medical students. A short list of links useful
for medical students is included. There have not been substantial changes
to the site for a few years now.
- LUMEN
- The histology site of Loyola University Strich
School of Medicine, Chicago, USA - Another comprehensive set of labelled
slides with brief explanatory notes. It is one of the most widely referred-to
histology sites on the www, and it has been around for a long time by www
standards - apparently since 1995. The site is very straightforward to use
but the images begin to show their age. Recently a 'zoomified' version of the images hve been added to the site - the mode of presentation corresponds to that of the Iowa Virtual Slidebox. Pages labelled "Practical" are slide
shows with questions and answers.
- University
of Virginia Health System - Cell and Tissue Structure / Physiology
- You will find concise lecture handouts - both as webpages and PDF files,
an exhaustive set of images with brief descriptions, an introduction to
microscopy
(partly based on external pages), self-study pages and practice questions,
and, finally, general resources and clinical correlations (good selections
of material available on the web). Everything is bundled into "subject
area" pages, which makes it easy to find your way around without drowning
in unsorted information. A few pages and functions are not publicly accessible.
