Interesting paper on introducing virtual microscopy into an undergraduate setting. The paper's introduction has a useful compilation of earlier papers on virtual microscopy in medical/professional school courses. The author notes that the motivation of the students in these two student populations may have an important impact on the value of virtual microscopy since professional students are generally more motivated and more academically skilled so better able to handle multiple formats.
