Exam slides

Here you will find virtual slides from the exam collection, based on 80 selected cases discussed during microscopic practice sessions. You can view the slides in the form of an online interactive atlas via the Smartzoom platform. Alternatively, you can download them in SVS format, which provides high-quality viewing directly on your devices, even in offline mode (total size: 32.8 GB).

To open the downloaded SVS files, you need to download the Sedeen Viewer, which is available for free on pathcore.com. After clicking on Download, you will need to fill out a short, non-binding registration with basic information. You will then receive a download link for the program via email (note: the link may occasionally end up in the spam folder). After that, simply install the program as usual, and you will be able to view the SVS files.

An alternative viewer is Aperio Imagescope, available for download on the Leica Biosystems website. Similarly, after clicking on the download link for the appropriate version, you only need to fill out a short, non-binding questionnaire, and the installation file will download directly.

We also offer two instructional videos, where each slide is commented on with an analysis of the morphological features that you should recognize and describe.

We hope you enjoy our scanned slides and that they serve you well in preparing for the microscopic part of the practical exam.
