These Apple Computer Macintoshes at Weill Cornell sink into the desk once a student is done using them. The universities have used a number of distance learning techniques. At Cornell, the university has created a library of images of microscope slides at the main campus. The students then use the virtual slides to study tissue samples.
"If you think about it, it is even better than having a microscope. With a student microscope, you have three different levels at most. With virtual microscopy you get eight," said Daniel Alonso, dean of Weill Cornell at Qatar. Photo: Michael Kanellos
