Television microscopy for education and consultation in pathology via coaxial cable, laser beam, and COMSAT satellite.
In this article, the author describes how the closed circuit TV microscopy system used at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions facilitates discussion and diagnosis in consultation and promotes continuing education in, and out, of the institutions. The research, development, implementation, and use of this system at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions is supported in part by a grant from The William Penn Foundation and NCI contract NIH-NO1-CB-92172.
