Specimen demonstration was done on Zoom using mobile phone focusing from top with the help of mobile stand. Even surface marking and embryology model demonstration was done. Histology slide discussion was done on Zoom focusing the slide on a LCD screen and faculty demonstrating the microscopic structures.
