Digital microscopy platform
The digital microscopy platform for neurodegenerative diseases is being developed by Prof. Jochen Herms and Dr. Sigrun Roeber at the Center for Neuropathology and Prion Research. The site is freely available for registered users.
The collection includes images of brain tissue from healthy individuals and from people who had Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, different types of prion disease, or a range of other, rare neurodegenerative disorders.
The aim of this platform is to provide characteristic histological specimens of neurodegenerative diseases for learning and teaching purposes. This platform is intended to be continually expanded and further developed. We welcome inquiries or constructive suggestions in order to continually improve the platform.
The platform is available via the following link: znp.smartzoom.com/s6
