See the finding for yourself
More than 700 specimens to explore beyond the textbook view
The collection covers normal morphology, common diseases, and rare findings in benign and malignant hematology. You can follow an annotation to a particular cell or structure, examine the surrounding area, and decide what you see before reading the expert’s explanation.
Anne Marie Asemissen, M.D., built this collection and annotated every case on the campus. Its breadth gives learners access to normal morphology, common diseases, and rare findings that few people could encounter during training in a single laboratory. Her annotations guide your eye, while the interactive viewer leaves the whole specimen open for your own exploration.
Normal bone marrow
Start with the structures of normal bone marrow. Move from the overview to individual cells and use the annotations to understand what you are seeing.
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Examine a peripheral blood smear and explore annotated findings, including lymphocytes and smudge cells.
Plasma cell myeloma
Follow marked areas in a bone marrow aspirate and see how the morphological findings relate to the clinical context described in the annotation.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia
Explore annotated cells in a bone marrow specimen and compare the findings highlighted by the expert.
Leishmaniasis
Look closely at a less common finding. The annotations guide you to areas of interest and explain what makes this specimen distinctive.
Your view is not limited to the annotations
Move freely across the slide, zoom in and out, measure structures, rotate the specimen, or place a grid over the image. Use the annotations as a guide, then examine other areas and form your own impression.
These examples offer a glimpse of a collection with more than 700 interactive digital specimens.
See how the experts teach
The specimens are one part of the campus. On-demand video courses introduce hematological microscopy, explain selected findings, and place morphology in the context of further diagnostic methods.
