Digital imaging of 35 mm medical slides, now of high resolution and relatively inexpensive, means that authors can gain the visual and informational benefits of publishing photographs and micrographs in color. Rapid scanning of batches of slides also makes conversion of previous black and white illustrated editions to color practical. Medical book publishers gain these advantages as well. Scanning and image adjustment controlled by a retired pathologist with over 10 years of experience with digital imaging.
