Description:
The SecondLookTM Histology mobile application for the iPad, the iPhone and Android devices is a study aid that provides a series of histology slides for users to self-test their level of knowledge and ability to recognize histological structures. The slides in the Michigan Histology SecondLookTM application feature high quality images from the University of Michigan Medical School's Histology and Virtual Microscopy collection (http://histology.sites.uofmhosting.net). All SecondLookTM Histology applications are free to download. The complete app is covering all major human tissues and organs and the Basic Tissue app only the histology basics. By taking a "Second Look" at these slides, users are able to review, self-evaluate, and test their knowledge of histology in order to be better prepared for examinations.
SecondLook™ Needs Your Support:
Please support the SecondLook™ initiative with a donation to our Michigan Medicine SecondLook™ Donation Champaign.
