Excerpt

Classic practical Teaching of pathology for both under & post graduates requires microscopes and glass slides. Medical schools in developing countries are confronted with many challenges, among them, the large number of the students especially if this is compared with the limited resources of the medical schools. Furthermore, the high cost of acquisition and maintenance of microscopes. As a consequence, more than one student may have to share a microscope in the teaching laboratory (Figure 1).
