    Greetings Histologists,

    I am posting this on behalf of my colleague Dr. John Bigbee.  I hope you find this resource useful for your teaching!

    Dear colleagues,

     I want take this opportunity to share our free-use, open-access instructional package entitled Digital Histology.  The package is compatible with both PC and Mac computers and is mobile friendly.  Digital Histology can be used by a diverse group of learners and is available free of charge at https://digitalhistology.org.

     Digital Histology is organized as chapters that parallel those of most histology textbooks.  Each of the over 1600 pages contains an original, high quality image accompanied by descriptive text and selectable labels.  In addition, interactive quizzes with formative feedback accompany each chapter of Digital Histology.  A review textbook with hyperlinks to images in the main package is also included. 

    A brief introductory video is available here.

    A more detailed description for the use of Digital Histology is located here.

    We invite you to examine Digital Histology and hope you find it to be a useful teaching and learning resource.  

    Our best wishes,

    John W. Bigbee, Ph.D.
