This application was created by the NYU School of Medicine Division of Educational Informatics: William Holloway, Eunbong Sohn, and Marc Triola MD. The Virtual Microscope uses the Google Maps API to display, annotate, and navigate scanned slides. These slides were obtained by scanners from Aperio or Bacus Laboratories. The application is written in Python and uses the Django Framework. We gratefully use open-source code from: http://econym.googlepages.com/, http://gmaps-utility-library.googlecode.com/, script.aculo.us, http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/
