If the tissue you are studying is available for viewing as a virtual slide, it will be indicated by an active link on the 'slides by number' index page.

• When you click on the link, a popup window should open with a display screen and a few instructions.
  • Click here to see short tutorial on how to use the virtual microscope.
• Depending on how busy the server is, it may take a few seconds (minutes) for the image to materialize.
• To move in the field, hold down the left mouse button and scoot the image around.
  • Watch the little red + in the smaller image in the upper left of the view window.
  • This red + is where the magnification change will be centered when you change virtual objectives.
• To change magnification, right click in the image and choose power from the drop-down menu.
• If you want full-screen, click the link that says "Enlarge the image please"
  • The navigation remains the same.

 Let's proceed to the tissue sectioning and staining.
