Summary This book covers the latest developments in virtual microscopy and virtual slides - an emerging field in pathology and morphology. The book is based on, but not limited to, the First Symposium of Virtual Slides organized at the Medical University of South Carolina, and presents an updated, comprehensive, and balanced view of the entire field. Divided into five sections, the first section gives a comprehensive introduction to computer and internet technologies, emphasizing the disciplines of histology and pathology and reviewing telepathology. Section 2 covers different technological solutions to create and view virtual slides, and Sections 3-5 describe applications in teaching, research, and diagnosis
