The COVID-19 has resulted in colleges shut all across the world. With this sudden shift away from the classroom in many parts of the globe, many institutions shifted to online learning. In undergraduate medical curriculum, histology is taught by visualising and studying the structure and function of cells. It is evident that different research areas rely on microscopic findings for diagnostic purposes. Here, we analysed the effectiveness of virtual microscopy among first professional medical students in post pandemic era by online teaching. Virtual microscopy proved that ability to learn and to understand histology component of anatomy gets increased. It also helps in enhanced student learning and save time for both students and instructors. The collection of data described here shows a vast difference in the use of virtual microscopy is better than optical microscopy among different fields of biomedical sciences.
