摘要
The feasibility of operating an electron microscope from a remote location using a high-speed computer network has been investigated. A 400 kV electron microscope was modified so that most microscope parameters and stage movement (x, y, z and tilt), can be controlled by a local host computer. The host computer also controls acquisition of digital images from the microscope from either a TV or a slow-scan CCD camera. A computer located at a remote site may send commands to the host computer via a fiber optic network to receive digital images and information concerning the status of microscope. Such a system has been demonstrated at the SIGGRAPH 1992 conference in Chicago and the Supercomputing 92 conference in Minneapolis, where we remotely collected three-dimensional image data sets using the electron microscope in San Diego. This approach, referred to as ''telemicroscopy'', promises to make possible live microscopy teleconferencing and thereby increase the accessibility and effective usage of the limited number of specialized microscopy resources.
