While learning, you will generally focus relatively more on high magnification features with high specificity, but still have a habit of learning how your cases look at '''low magnification''' as well. In time, you will increasingly correlate diseases and conditions with their overall low magnification patterns - patterns that may require 1000 words to describe and thus cannot conveniently be part of written criteria, but will nevertheless allow you to make quicker and more accurate diagnoses. | |||
