ON THE COVER: Students at the University of Bristol in the UK using virtual microscopy in the histology teaching laboratory . In this issue of ASE, Dr Margaret Gatumu and co‐authors describe how virtual microscopy (VM), alongside traditional light microscopy, is used in histology teaching and learning for medical, dental and veterinary students. Students work in pairs or small groups facilitated by teachers to select, explore and annotate VM images as seen on individual desktop computer screens. A printed handbook guides the students through the slides. Student‐led learning is supplemented by lecture‐demonstrations by a teacher delivered from a podium; the view from the teacher's computer is visible throughout the laboratory on drop‐down projector screens.
