Just wanted to give a link to some fancy virtual microscopy company in Finland...who uses touch screens to zoom in and out while looking at virtual scanned slides (200GB per slide)!

That is incredible. Can I get one in my bedroom so I can sign out cases from home? LOL.

The part where they showed the peripheral blood smear slide was incredible.

At 200 GB per slide, the load time for each slide would be incredible. Sign out would be so slow. I don't know. Maybe in ten years when storage of 200 GB is A) cheaper, and B) smaller.

Just a novelty, albeit a very cool one, for now.
