Emerging technology now exists to digitize a gigabyte of information from a glass slide, save it in a highly compressed file format, and deliver it over the web. By accessing these images with a standard web browser and viewer plug-in, a computer can emulate a real microscope and glass slide. Using this new technology, the immediate aims of our project were to digitize the glass slides from urinary tract, male genital, and endocrine units and implement them in the Spring 2000 Histology course at the University of Iowa, and to carry out a formative evaluation of the virtual slides of these three units in a side-by-side comparison with the regular microscope laboratory. The methods and results of this paper will describe the technology employed to create the virtual slides, and the formative evaluation carried out in the course. Anat Rec (New Anat) 265:10-14, 2001.
如今，新兴技术已能将载玻片上的1GB信息进行数字化处理，以高度压缩的文件格式保存，并通过网络传输。通过使用标准的网络浏览器和查看器插件访问这些图像，计算机可以模拟真实的显微镜和载玻片。利用这项新技术，我们项目的近期目标是将来自泌尿系统、男性生殖系统和内分泌系统的载玻片进行数字化处理，并于2000年春季在爱荷华大学的组织学课程中应用，同时与常规显微镜实验室进行并排比较，对这三个系统的虚拟载玻片进行形成性评估。本文的方法和结果将描述用于创建虚拟载玻片的技术，以及在课程中进行的形成性评估。《解剖学记录》（新解剖学）265:10 - 14，2001年。
