Remote operation of electron microscopes is feasible via high-speed networks. This "telemicroscopy" enables remote data collection and increases access to specialized microscopy resources.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Computer Science
  • Microscopy

Background:

  • Electron microscopes are specialized, limited resources.
  • Remote operation requires advanced networking and control systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of remote electron microscopy operation.
  • To develop and demonstrate a telemicroscopy system.

Main Methods:

  • Modified a 400 kV electron microscope for remote control.
  • Implemented control of microscope parameters and stage movement via a local host computer.
  • Utilized a fiber optic network for remote command and image data transmission.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated remote operation and data collection at SIGGRAPH 1992 and Supercomputing 92.
