Digital Biology & Medical Image Databases
Turn your computer into a digital microscope with our
collection of over 500 biology light and electron micrographs. You can create professional looking overheads, class notes, science fair displays
or even exams in minutes.
| The Electron Microscopy CD has a wide variety of transmission (TEM) & scanning (SEM) images of organelles, chromosomes, insects and more. The Human Histology CD has nearly 100 images of human tissue taken from many different organs. |

Why is PhotoCD different?
Most computer screens display at 72-96 dpi resolution whereas print resolution is 600dpi or higher. This is why images taken from multimedia CD's, laser disks or websites, etc. make such poor prints. PhotoCD was designed for printing; each of the approximately 100 images per disk are saved in the 5 standard print sizes as listed below (along with their respective screen and computer file size).
- 1" x 1.5", thumbnail/wallet: 128 x 192 pixels (74K)
- 2" x 2.5", snapshot: 256 x 384 pixels (295K)
- 4" x 5", TV/standard: 512 x 768 pixels (1.1Mb)
- 8" x 10", HDTV/large: 1024 x 1536 (4.8Mb)
- 16" x 20", photographic/poster: 2048 x 3072 pixels (18.9Mb)
How to Use
The PhotoCD format makes it highly versatile. You can create Web based teaching, 35mm slides, handouts, manuals, transparencies, lab practicals,
and more because you have access to high resolution images to begin with. If you import an image directly into a word processor or a desktop publisher, as long as you have the Kodak PhotoCD (PCD) image filter installed.
On the other hand, you can choose to save the same image at a much lower resolution for use on computer screens.
