ITOP education showcases NIPIB's extensive online microscope slide database at BETT Show 2016
How can science teachers demonstrate to their students what the spinal cord, liver, lungs, pancreas, bone marrow and even the cerebellum really look like?
- (1888PressRelease) December 04, 2015 - Well, unless they are working directly with forensics expert slash serial killer Dexter - whose methods for collecting blood samples are somewhat debatable - they will probably tell you that it's near impossible to provide educational material this accurate!
Fortunately, French company ITOP éducation has developed a safe solution to this issue: Nouvelle Imagerie Pédagogique de l'InvisiBle [New Educational Imaging of the Invisible - NIPIB], an online platform that gives you online access to 216 high res microscope slides.
It's like carrying out research with a microscope, only via a simple web browser. PLUS no one gets hurt.
ITOP éducation will be exhibiting NIPIB on the French Pavilion (stand C88) at the British Education and Training Technology (BETT) Show at ExCeL London (UK) from Wednesday 20th to Saturday 23rd January 2016.. BETT is one of the world's leading events for educational technology. The French Pavilion is being organised by Business France, the French export-support agency.
Thanks to its innovative web technology and high definition images, NIPIB enables you to look at biology, microbiology and geology samples on a microscopic scale. Its "macrozoom" and "virtual microscope slide" technology is so innovative it has only been in existence for the last few years. You can move from "macroscopic to microscopic", or from "the organ to the cell", look at data scanned both with a magnifying glass and an optical microscope, right down to a fraction of a micrometre (1500X magnification).
"This is a great tool, because with the optical microscopes and small-scale equipment that we have in schools, it's impossible to have such high definition," says Romain Marchal, biology teacher at Commercy dans la Meuse secondary school in the Lorraine region of France.
"With the viewer, it's possible to look at two slides at the same time," says Elodie Michel, teacher at Jacques Marquette secondary school in Pont-à-Mousson, also in Lorraine. "For example, slides of healthy human tissue and of the same human tissue infected by pathogens."
On an educational level, these slides are accessible via a technical, scientific online environment that satifies the expectations and needs of teachers and their students.
The NIPIB viewer allows you to view the images (100% of which are available online) and select from advanced options such as scale, measurement, annotations, areas of interest and coordinates, thus increasing its overall usability for educational purposes.
