Smart Phone Microscopic Photography: A Novel Tool for Physicians and Trainees

Annie S. Morrison, MD; Jerad M. Gardner, MD

From the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia (Dr Morrison); and the Departments of Pathology and Dermatology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas (Dr Gardner).

Although conceptually simple, smart phone microscopic photography is an invaluable tool for pathologists, clinicians,

and trainees in many fields. This technique enables pathologists who do not own conventional microscope cameras,

including those in small practices or developing nations, to obtain high-quality photomicrographs for use in a variety of

clinical and educational applications, thus facilitating virtual consultations and the sharing of interesting cases.
