What Is a Virtual Microscope?

Virtual microscope technology is a digital technique of histological section developed in recent years. The main principle is to use a standard optical microscope with complete functions to obtain an image of each part of a tissue section stained at a certain magnification at the same magnification, and then combine these images to form a complete tissue section image. The scanned image must be read at the same magnification of a standard microscope, such as 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 40 times. ^[1]
