Virtual specimens provide several advantages over traditional glass slides:
1. Accessibility: Digital slides can be accessed remotely, enabling collaboration among pathologists and students from different locations. 2. Longevity: Unlike glass slides, which can deteriorate over time, digital slides remain unchanged and can be stored indefinitely. 3. Interactive Learning: Virtual specimens are ideal for educational purposes, allowing students to explore and interact with samples in ways that are not possible with physical slides. 4. Resource Efficiency: Reduces the need for physical storage space and the transportation of glass slides.
