(PRWEB) November 5, 2007 -- Visit UNIS LUMIN (www.unislumin.com) at Booth#1723 and see how The Michener Institute is using digital slide technology to simulate and teach microscopy to its students. Students can now study unique slides and pathologies from an extensive clinical database on a high performance Storage Area Network designed and implemented in partnership with UNIS LUMIN.

"We want to become the only applied health sciences institute in Canada to use this technology as an educational tool. We wanted to be recognized for creating one of the most comprehensive digital slide databases for medical laboratory science in Canada and ensure that we had the ability to share this type of work," states Vice Provost, Dr. Karim Bandali, The Michener Institute.

"Here at Michener we have a very distinct innovation theme. Within it, our intro of digital slide technology is really a combination of our academic and technological innovation goals coming together," added Brad Niblett, Director of Information Management, The Michener Institute

Mr. Niblett will be on hand at OHA HealthAchieve to discuss and show how virtual microscopy is changing the way students learn and how it can help improve healthcare. Demonstrations are scheduled on Monday November 5th and 6th at 10:35am and 3:35pm in Booth #1723. Private demonstrations can be booked through booth staff.
