ABOUT vMicTechnologyMakers of vMic Acknowledgements TechnologySlide acquisition is done with a roboter-microscope which scans the slide and captures a matrix of images. We use a 40x Zeiss Apochromat with NA=0.95 to receive high quality images. The images are postprocessed and then served by a plain http-server. The viewer - called vMic - has been developed with Macromedia Flash. For further informations:Human Pathology - Glatz, Glatz, Mihatsch - Volume 34, No. 10 (October 2003) - pages 968-974: Virtual Slide: high quality demand, physical limitations and affordability. Makers of vMicKatharina and Dieter Glatz-Krieger have developed idea and concept of the vMic. Dieter has realized the technical infrastructure and Katharina is responsible for content. Oliver Walthard is accountable for the design of the vMic-website.AcknowledgementsThe roboter-microscope has been financed by a grant from the Erneuerungsfonds of the University of Basel.The Universitätsrechenzentrum is providing the lion's share of the necessary IT-infrastructure. Udo M. Spornitz, PhD, Institute of Anatomy, Uni Basel, for implementing the first and substantial application of vMic for students of dentistry. Fred R. Dee, MD and Timothy Leaven, MA, Department of Pathology, University of Iowa, for fruitful discussions and their pioneering work in the field of virtual microscopy.
