Histology and Embryology is a science that visuality is important. The possibilities brought by computer technology for this purpose have also increased the use of visual materials in this area. In the field of medical education or scientific studies related to Histology and Embryology, 3D modeling method has found a current usage area.
Normal and histopathologic images obtained from our studies carried out in Histology and Embryology Department were evaluated in Leica DM 4000B Q Vin 3 program and three-dimensional modeling of these images were made by going out from these findings. Printed outs were taken from obtained 3D models by using 3D printer. Finally, the obtained digital materials were examined comparatively with classical histomorphological findings.
As a result, this powerful technology also makes it possible to create dynamic, interactive, and indistinguishable animations (such as virtual reality and enhanced reality). We think that the use of three-dimensional models related to microscopic structures in education of histology and embryology will meet the shortage in this area and will lead the researchers interested in the subject.
