Web Resources of Pathology: Again! January 7, 2008

Last November, I presented Juha Nickels’ software applications created for pathologists. Now, here are two other services and websites. Web 2.0 can offer some useful possibilities for medical professionals and not only in the field of pathology.

• The Interactive Pathology Laboratory (IPLab) is an extremely comprehensive, interactive, case-based approach for learning the concepts of Pathology. It consists of more than 100 cases outlining clinical and laboratory findings along with gross photographs and photomicrographs accompanied by descriptive text.

• Nikon Human Pathology Digital Image Gallery: The image gallery presented in this section attempts to illustrate, through use of the brightfield microscope, many of the pathological conditions that are readily observed in stained human specimens. Each image was chosen for artistic merit, photographic quality, and content.
