Background Th e success and spreading of digital microscopes Worldwide is unquestionable. During the past 3-5 years the vendors in the fi eld of digital microscopy developed robust hardwares and sophisticated softwers. Digital slides become a part of everyday life in research and now claim their place in the routine pathology workfl ow also. Still one of the most popular fi eld of using these applications where we can really take advantage of them is education. Our department has always been a pioneer applying digital slides. On the ECP 2007, we reported the development of an educational software package: E-School. After the succesful introduction of the system, we decided to replace all optical microscopes in education, with computers. First results were presented in the IAP congress in Athen in 2008.
