[Real time microscopic image transmission system by using Hi-vision technique].
Using a high definition television (HDTV) technique, we have designed and developed the real time microscopic image transmission system. The department of laboratory and pathology, 500 m apart, are connected by this system on a light fiber line. It consists of an electrically controlled microscope, a HDTV camera, a HDTV color monitor, and a video transmitter on the laboratory side, while on the pathology a remote microscope controller, a video receiver, and a HDTV color monitor of 22.5 (H)-39.5(W) cm in CRT size. By monitoring real time noiseless picture, pathologists can select the objective lenses, move the stage, and adjust the focus of microscope at their own office. Three-month trial revealed that this prototype system was quite useful for prompt histo-pathological diagnosis during surgical operations. So far as we know, this microscopic image transmission system with Hi-vision TV is the first one in practical use in this field.
