Abstract
Medical genetics is one of the most dynamically developing branches of modern medicine. Various software tools became essential for both laboratory and clinical practice.
Since the biology and genetics are very important topics in medical students training – we have decided to innovate regular practical courses with new types of PC-based tasks and activities. Several biologic and genetic preparations (e.g. mitotic and meiotic cell division) were digitalized thanks to the special Olympus dotSlide visualization microscope.
Virtual microscope for the students was enabled using OlyVIA software (Olympus Corporation). Finally – several interesting topics (including texts, images and even casuistics) were made available using the preexisting WikiLectures portal (www.wikiskripta.eu).
