An Analysis of Virtual Microscopy: At University of Kelaniya

A novel approach has been implemented by the University of Kelaniya to engage students in the intriguing field of microscopic investigation. This blog post delves into the immersive experience of a University of Kelaniya Virtual Microscope Session. The following specimens were examined. 01.Hair Follicle Under a microscope, a hair follicle is a small, tube-like structure embedded in the skin. Among its multiple layers is the connective tissue that surrounds the hair bulb and the inner and outer root sheaths. The first two layers of skin, the dermis and epidermis, are home to hair follicles. By observation, one can learn about the follicle's thickness, pigment distribution, developmental stage, and any anomalies such as infection or inflammation. 02.Skin Under the Microscope The stratified squamous epithelium that makes up the epidermis. The uppermost layer, called keratin, is formed by the stratified epithelium. Keratinocytes, which produce keratin, make up the majority of the out...
