Web-based telemicroscopy.
By taking advantage of network-based computing and the recent developments in Web interfaces, centralized research facilities housing specialized and unique imaging instruments along with associated high-performance computing can be made available to researchers for use from their own laboratories. In addition to increasing access and utilization of these facilities, operation over the Internet is expected to enhance research by facilitating collaboration between researchers. We describe the implementation of a platform-independent Web-based system written in Java that supplements automated functions with video-guided interactive, collaborative remote control and data acquisition from an intermediate-high-voltage electron microscope.
