Alternatively to sending glass slides via mail order, the German division of the IAP established a digital slide training portal on the Internet. Following the principle of virtual microscopy, histology slides were scanned completely in high resolution, stored on a server, and can be accessed over the Internet. The slide training portal can be used with current Internet browsers without additional plugins. Working on digital slides with the virtual microscope is easy but flexible. Loading a detail image using image streaming technologies takes about 500 ms with the German research network (DFN) and about 3 s with DSL. The digital slide training portal of the German IAP provides a clear choice and is always available for every member. Despite the little experience some users had with the Internet and diagnostics at the monitor, image quality and usability were rated as good.
除了通过邮购发送载玻片外，国际解剖病理学家学会（IAP）德国分部在互联网上建立了一个数字载玻片培训门户网站。按照虚拟显微镜的原理，组织学载玻片被完全高分辨率扫描，存储在服务器上，并可通过互联网访问。该载玻片培训门户网站可以在当前的互联网浏览器上使用，无需额外的插件。使用虚拟显微镜处理数字载玻片既简单又灵活。使用图像流技术加载一张细节图像，在德国研究网络（DFN）上大约需要500毫秒，使用数字用户线路（DSL）则大约需要3秒。德国IAP的数字载玻片培训门户网站提供了明确的选择，并且每个成员都可以随时使用。尽管一些用户在互联网和在显示器上进行诊断方面经验不足，但图像质量和可用性被评为良好。
